Quick question: If I have txt data I know I can import subtasks as tabbed lines. But is there a delimiter to push a line into the comment field? That would be gold for me!

I use csv import with Excel so could set up txt files with headers to mimic that (it's not Csv anyway but Tsv really)... But would like to grab txt from anywhere if possible.

Thanks

Hi Jon

Using the 'Outline (.txt) importer', just separate comments from the task title with the pipe(|) character.

Thank you! I feel like the kid at the back who 'could try harder'... But I just knew you would already have a method. Now I can really fly.

The ad for Volvo goes "everything you need, nothing you don't". TDL would be something like that but also "Has features you don't even realize you need". Just tried wordcloud: wonderful!

Thanks

Jon

>> Has features you don't even realize you need

My version being "Has features you don't even recall adding" :sigh:
