You can import tasks from a .csv
file.
I would suggest the following:
-
Export your current tasks as a
.csv
file so you know how the task fields are formatted as csv."File" > "Open/Export" > select "Import/Export"
In the "Import and Export Wizard" window, select "Export to a file", then click on "Next".
Select "Comma Separated Values", then click "Next"
In the "Export to a file" dialog, select a name for the csv file, then click "Next"
In the "Export to a file" dialog, check the box for "Export 'Tasks'" from folder:...", then click "Finish".
Create a new csv file containing the tasks to be added using your favourite editor.
Import the new task csv file.
