If you are in a specific queue, the task will be added to that queue. Otherwise the task will be added to your Inbox.
Tap the Edit task... button to specify the task details or change the queue.
Add multiple tasks
To add several tasks in a row, tap and hold the Create button after typing your first task.
The task will be created and you can begin typing your next task without tapping the plus (+) button again.
Add a repeating task
To create a repeating task edit the task, set a date and tap the Set repetition field.

Whenever you complete a repeating task a new instance will be generated based on the pattern.
