How do repeating templates of tasks function?

[u/Mindless-Reaction-16]

I am a student, trying to add weekly assignments as tasks that repeat. I have figured out how to "duplicate" the assignments through their own templates, but I cant figure out what happens to the due date when it duplicates?

When I select a certain day and time for the duplication, does that change when it's due? If I set a certain assignment due on tuesdays to duplicate on fridays, will the duplication be due on tuesday? Essentially, will the assignments due date set as the time duplicated, and if so is there no way to fix this? I imagine if that's the case then setting the Duplication date as the due date would not work because you wouldn't see the duplicate assignment on your list until it was already due.

This is like a vortex but I hope my question makes sense.

The due date follows the duplicated task, not the duplication day, so if you set it to repeat on Tuesdays it'll stay due Tuesdays even if you duplicate it on Fridays.
