Copy and paste to a PfW schedule...

Hi team 

Does anyone know when it will be possible to copy and paste to a PfW schedule?  I find it incredulous that this feature is not there. 
Thanks again

  • Hey James_Price ,

    I don't see this issue. If the Name cell has the green outline so it just selected (no cursor flashing inside it for typing), copying and pasting multiple task names from multiple rows in Excel works fine. If I click in the Name cell to make it active to type with the cursor flashing, the values from multiple rows will just create 1 new task.

  • Hi James_Price ,

    What copy and paste are you trying? It works for me when copying and pasting a row from within the grid view to new blank row in the grid. It also works for me when copying multiple rows from say an Excel sheet into the blank row on the grid - the tasks get created. You just need to ensure the data types from the Excel sheet are compatible with the columns you have in the view on the grid.

      Hi Paul
      When I try to do this (copy and paste a few task names only) I get a pop-up stating: 'the paste operation is not supported'. Am I missing something?
      Many thanks

        Hi James_Price ,

        I don't see that message / issue. Where are you copying from? I'll try to repro if you can provide exact steps / details of the source data.
