It sounds like you're talking about doing that on the fly when displaying Dailies in the task list. That would add extra computations which would slow down rendering of the page slightly, and the code would also have to be duplicated on both mobile apps, and also in any third party tools that display due Dailies. It would also have to be duplicated within cron for when cron was working out whether a Daily should have been done or not. It would be more efficient to reset the Start Date and also perhaps more reliable because if you haven't actioned a Daily for more than a few months, the history entries will start being compressed. Adding a new flag to the database wouldn't take up more space than we could handle, especially since it would probably only be set to a true value on Dailies that used it, and not set at all on all the others.
