Trigger Improvements Feature Parity with Informant 4 Templates
Please add the following capabilities to Triggers
Ability to create and save checklist in the trigger screen like in the old PI template.
Ability to create a trigger from an existing item--Done in 5.2
Ability for Triggers to support the same fields as the templates
You can now set the "All Day" flag in Event Triggers (it's the first option in the Hour field) Done in 5.2
Please add an option to "Triggers" where I can filter the trigger lists.
The idea is, if you have a large number of Triggers, it will reduce the number of displayed Triggers.
2nd Option
I went to edit a trigger that came from an old template. It wasn't immediately obvious how to change the start and duration of event. Please make that clearer
Allow user to save/link a contact to that template similar to prior version templates.
Please consider adding the ability to set a Parent Task from a Trigger. I used to be able to do it using Templates and used the feature quite often. It would be a great help. Thanks
Please add the ability when making triggers to pop up your existing tag fields not a blank field and then change it later to an existing tag field.
It would be great if the triggers could include alarms too. My wife likes to set multiple alarms (2 hrs before, 1 day before, & 1 Week before) for important appointments. Perhaps you can have a switch that is disabled by default that will enable all fields for triggers.

Bring back Templates please!!!! Triggers just aren’t cutting it. I like to set multiple alarms. I like to create a template for certain events & edit them according to where I need to go.

I want to make more than one alarm as stated above.
I could do this in Version 4 Templates.
Another lost feature. -

It would be nice to select the repeat patterns in a trigger (repeat from start date, or due day or finished).

The templates worked for me much better than the triggers. Basically, I have templates for work tasks and work events, as well as personal tasks and personal events. They have different alarm times and different calendars and tags. It would be great if this worked again and could be synced across all my devices.

Could triggers be listed alphabetically and by title (not the trigger text)? I used templates a lot and had them listed by areas of work. I then used to be able to quickly pick the right one from the drop down list - now much harder when they are seemingly listed randomly. I find this method of picking from the list much quicker then typing trigger text when on the move.

I haven't read all the comments, but the triggers are not working for me. When I first tried they worked somewhat, but now they don't pop up at all. I definitely want to the triggers to work like the old templates, filling all the settings I add to the template.

This idea really is a minor extension to the triggers idea that has already been posted.
It would be great if the triggers could include alarms too. My wife likes to set multiple alarms (2 hrs before, 1 day before, & 1 Week before) for important appointments. Perhaps you can have a switch that is disabled by default that will enable all fields for triggers.

A minor improvement is needed in Triggers. The event specific section where you define the start and duration of the event needs labels for the contents that don't disappear. I went to edit a trigger that came from an old template. It wasn't immediately obvious how to change the start and duration of event.

I really cannot understand why trigger removed fields from templates already supported ! What's the reason of doing that?

A trigger that would create a project already populated with tasks would be great for repetitive operations

Add Switch to select 'Whole -Day-event' in the trigger menu. I used templates for simple events that didn't nedfto be Edited.

Possibility to select a bookmarked location for triggers (this was possible with Templates in version 4)
