Bulk Import QuickList Tasks
Typing tasks into a QuickList one at a time is slow when you already have the list somewhere else. Import pastes the whole lot in at once.
Import a list of tasks
- Open the QuickList.
- Click Import Tasks at the bottom of the task list.
- Enter your tasks in the text box, one per line. Each line becomes its own task.
- Optionally choose a Section to put them in. Leave it blank and they are added to the bottom of the list.
- Click Import Tasks.
The tasks appear straight away, ready to be completed, reordered or assigned. A confirmation tells you how many were imported.
What to paste
Anything you can get onto separate lines works: a column copied out of a spreadsheet, a bulleted list from a document, notes from a meeting. There is no file upload and no column mapping. It is a plain list of task titles, which means the import is quick but it only brings titles.
Everything else, assignees, due dates, notes, is added afterwards on the tasks themselves.
Who can import
You need edit permission on the list. Anyone with restricted access sees a note saying they must be an editor to import tasks.
