It's pretty simple, but I haven't found a way: I want to exercise six days out of the week. I want at least two of those days to be running, and at least two to be weightlifting. The other two days can be running, weightlifting, or something else. So I create a once-every-three-days task for running, a once-every-three-days task for weightlifting, and a every-day-but-Sunday task for exercising. The behavior I want is that every time I check off either the running or weightlifting tasks, the exercise task is automatically checked off as well; and I also want to be able to check off the exercise task by itself, without checking off the other tasks, in case I do something else which I consider exercising, like maybe playing soccer. One might think of it as having subtasks that work in reverse. Or as one subtask having multiple supertasks. Does this functionality exist currently? If not, is it likely to exist in the near future?

This is want to do. It's pretty simple, but I haven't found a way:

I want to exercise six days out of the week. I want at least two of those days to be running, and at least two to be weightlifting. The other two days can be running, weightlifting, or something else.

So I create a once-every-three-days task for running, a once-every-three-days task for weightlifting, and a every-day-but-Sunday task for exercising. The behavior I want is that every time I check off either the running or weightlifting tasks, the exercise task is automatically checked off as well; and I also want to be able to check off the exercise task by itself, without checking off the other tasks, in case I do something else which I consider exercising, like maybe playing soccer.
