Plug-In: Complete and Await Reply

This plug-in is based on an AppleScript script for OmniFocus by Curt Clifton. It allows you to mark your currently selected task as complete, and duplicates the task with `Waiting on reply: ` prefixed to the original task name. This allows you to quickly complete a task (such as “Email Bob about his cat”) and also add the appropriate related action.

This plug-in does not add a waiting tag to the new task, but that could be added after line 19 with dupTasks[0].addTag(tagNamed('Waiting On')); (this assumes your tag is called “Waiting On” placed at the top-level of tags). — Rosemary Orchard
