convert existing task to recurring task in project

[kencat]

Original request was to set up a number of maintenace tasks for scheduling
into a calendar Year. The scope of request has now changed and a number of
the tasks now need to be recurring throughout the year. Can the existing non
recurring tasks be converted to recurring without creating again. Number of
tasks eceeeds 100.

Hi Mike, thank you for this information. Looks like copying and pasting is
the only option.

kenkat, most of the time I would defer to an expert like Mike Glen; however,
you might find it easier to just set up a new recurring task to cover the
requirement in the schedule.

Thanks for the comment, apologies for the time delay in answering. As stated
in your comment I set up new recurring tasks, a bit lazy in the first case
asking the initial question.
