work packages - bulk create

Added by Dylan Grafmyre almost 4 years ago

Hello, I've previously used Tiaga, which had a [newline-separate task create feature](https://taiga.pm/adding-issues-in-bulk/)

I thought I would find a similarly easy way to take a text file listing task titles and load them into openproject, but I didn't find anything to that effect from the documentation https://docs.openproject.org/user-guide/work-packages/create-work-package/

What does the process look like to get a feature like this considered approved and developed with the openproject community?
Is this feature something a plugin can accomplish in a self-service kind of way?

U can use the Excel Import Feature.

Hi Dylan,
please have a look at the Excel sync Rainer mentioned. If that's not sufficient you can create a feature request detailing your use case and requirements for our wish list. 
You can find the current product development process here.

Kind regards

Matthias

Thanks folks, we can consider the topic closed.

Thanks for your notes ML, RP,  Its awesome to see this community/product doing so well :)
I don't think the xlsm option will work for me specifically (no problem, LibreOffice calc's VBA isn't compatible, oh well. I'm glad its there for others to discover), that's a really exciting tool though, glad it exists.
