convert scheduled recurring entries into clocked data

Hello All,
  I posted this question on emacs stackexchange, but then it occurred to me
that I should post this on emacs-orgmode as well.

http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/27565/how-do-i-convert-scheduled-recurring-entries-into-clocked-data

I use org-mode for scheduling and logging in tasks. I clock in
non-recurring tasks, however I find it strenuous to clock in recurring
tasks. Is there any way I can mark the recurring task done and the
scheduled time for the task is converted into clocked data as soon as I
mark it done?

Example,

* TODO Task 1
SCHEDULED: <2016-10-04 Tue 10:00-10:30 ++1d>

After I mark it done, the task should read

* TODO Task 1
SCHEDULED: <2016-10-05 Wed 10:00-10:30>
:LOGBOOK:
- State "DONE"       from "TODO"       [2016-10-04 Tue 11:42]
CLOCK: [2016-10-04 Tue 10:00]--[2016-10-04 Tue 10:30] => 0:30
:END:

Thanks
Bala

Could you expunge a bit? What happens instead? What is your
configuration and the Org version you're using? In particular, did you
try the latest one?

Thanks Nicolas for your reply. I am using Org 8.3.4.

The clocking works fine for me and so do recurring state changes. Basic
functioning is OK for me.

Currently, I follow these steps:
1. I don't clock these recurring tasks
2. mark the recurring task as done
3. manually copy the clock data
4. and use M-S-<up> to change the clock data to the current date

I was seeing if the above process can be automated or cleverly done thru
elisp code. I am not adept at elisp, so I was wondering if anyone else had
done this.

Thanks and have a great day!
Bala
