There has been mentioned a MS Excel specific worksheet that can automate bidirectional sync with openproject, this is an excellent tool in general.  However I suggest it is still important that basic bulk create (and export which already exists, yay) be supported in the native openproject interface.

End of the deletion I suggest the feature to reduce the current O(n) work package creation, where the current features requires a per-work-package new-task-click, input-focus, text entry (from copy paste), submit loop. Reduce that to a  O(0n + 1) manual work package creation, which is much more attractive for a modest to large quantity of work packages. Begin of the deletion
