Duplicating a task for a second sowing this year

Important pre-requisites:
In this demonstration, we will duplicate the task created in the Adding a task session.
This task was for our First Sowings.
We added 3 plant names, and selected 3 specimens named First sowings for that task.

When we duplicate the task in this session, the same three plants will be carried forward to our new task.
However, the Specimens are NOT automatically selected, as they will NOT be the same for this new task. A second set of specimens are required.
Thus, make sure you have created Second Sowing specimens for the plants in the Task to be duplicated in this lesson, as described in the section Creating Specimens
Also make sure the Specimen have a batch reference, again as described in Creating Specimens

• Repeat steps 1 and 2 above
  Get to GA047S11
  
  In screen GA047S11

• Edit the fields as required for your second sowing Task
  (Task Month/Year, Task Title, Do Date/Alert days)
• In this session, leave the radio button at the default setting - Same Plants List
• Click the Add button

The initial Screen GA047S01 will re-appear
At this stage, the NEW task needs to be edited to select the Second Sowing specimens

• Select your new Task and click the Edit Task button
  Screen GA047S03 appears
  Screenshot 4d-GA047S03
