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.

  1. "File" > "Open/Export" > select "Import/Export"

  2. In the "Import and Export Wizard" window, select "Export to a file", then click on "Next".

  3. Select "Comma Separated Values", then click "Next"

  4. In the "Export to a file" dialog, select a name for the csv file, then click "Next"

  5. 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.
