As far as I can tell, "archive task" works exactly the same as completing a task, in every way. Are they supposed to differ in behavior?

@mgsloan "Archive Task" has a couple differences over "Complete Task"

  1. If the task is a child task, if you "Complete" it it will be checked and greyed out (and will remain in the list under the uncompleted parent task until the parent task is completed). If you "Archive" the child task it will be checked and then removed from view.
  2. If the task is a Recurring Task (e.g. every day) and you "Complete Task" it will be scheduled for the next date of recurrence. If you "Archive Task" it will be completed and not recur again.
