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 James
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 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

Pardon me for bumping into this thread, but I have had some experience with copying and pasting data into a Project for the Web schedule. You should be able to successfully copy and paste multiple tasks from an Excel workbook. You can paste the Task Name, Duration, Start, and Finish columns successfully. However, BEWARE of copying and pasting Start and Finish dates, as Project for the Web will automatically add a Start No Earlier Than constraint to each of the tasks, which will probably interfere with the project schedule, and if so, will have to be removed ONE AT A TIME! ARRGGGHHH! I have discovered it is better to copy and paste only the Task Name and Duration data, and then link the tasks to let the software calculate the Start and Finish dates. Also, I was never able to import task dependency information from Excel. But if you figure out how to do that yourself, please share with us how to do it.
Hope this little bit extra helps.
