Parsing Switches only allow 5 out of 7 levels for for Importance, Urgency and Effort

[Christoph]

I'm giving the auto-sorting of tasks another try. Therefore I try to put correct Importance and Urgency on my tasks. Using the slider to find a value in the range 0-200 for each task seems to cumbersome and too detailed for me. Therefore I mostly use the parsing switches -i[1...5] and -u[1...5] to set the values to a predefined level.

I notice that while there are 7 predefined levels you can set via right-click in the column, only 5 levels are allowed for the switches:

min   -i1

little   - (no switch)

less   -i2

normal   -i3

more   - (no switch)

a lot   -i4

max   -i5

Same with Urgency and Effort.

Requests: 

- There should be a switch for each predefined level (1 to 7) and/or

- There should be an alternative switch to set the specific value, e.g. -iv175 for Importance 175 to make input parsing independent of the predefined levels.

Is there another option to set Importance and Urgency efficiently for a large number of tasks?

Thanks

Christoph

I support this request. I have several task lists sorted by importance, and often I will create a new task and want to see it land at a certain point in the sequence of tasks. This might involve giving a specific value to task importance, like 85 or 132, which is very easily dome on Windows but is quite challenging on mobile. If I could parse with a switch that said -iv132 or -iv85 it would make it way easier.
