Copy and paste multiple tasks from a document into Upbase

PROBLEM: If I have an outside document with several tasks as line items and I try to copy and paste those line items into Upbase as separate tasks, then Upbase will group all those tasks into one task.

That means I have to go and copy and paste each line item into Upbase as a separate tasks which is cumbersome.

SOLUTION: Provide the option of whether the user wants to copy and paste multiple line items as a single task or as multiple tasks. It's a fairly common feature on other task management apps.

USE CASE: A client who is not an upbase user sends me a checklist of tasks to get done on a Word doc. I need to get these tasks logged into my Upbase account. At this present time, I must copy and paste each line item task separately into upbase rather than copying and pasting all the tasks together and having Upbase recognize that I'm trying to paste in multiple tasks together.

    This is an extremely important feature in my regard and one of the things that could potentially stop me from moving to Upbase. I currently use Todoist which has this function.

    See Ora and Trello for a really good example of this. Clickup also does it, but only in “list” mode, not boards.

    Please add this feature to copy rows into a list to Upbase

    OMG I found this problem today when trying to copy/paste rows into a list. Painfully slow and time consuming without Bulk adding of tasks.

    PLEASE put this on your roadmap to do. Thank you

    Yes! Bulk add tasks from a list is something that's stopping me from moving to Upbase
