Description Sam Davis CLA 2011-07-29 18:58:35 EDT 
When I am working on a task, I often don't realize that something should be a subtask until I've already started working on it, and at that point I am reluctant to create a subtask because my context already has elements related to the subtask. Of course I could use copy context, but then I would still be looking at the whole context of the parent task. It would be useful if the subtask's context were automatically populated with the events from the last, say, 5 minutes. It might also be useful to remove those events from the parent's context, but that might be unexpected.

Similarly, it might be useful to have a context > "copy recent activity to" command that would do the same thing. Or it could bring up a dialog allowing the user to select how many minutes/events/elements to copy (it could even use the context preview page to show them what will be copied).
