Copy/Paste a draft list of tasks from Excel and/or Word into a Project

Teams often want to brainstorm and begin to organize a list of tasks in something like Word and/or Excel. To avoid the cumbersome process of "uploading" the list into a project via a clunky kick-starter template, teams would like to easily copy the list of tasks from Word/Excel and paste them into a Project. Other programs they have used in the past have made this a common-practice approach. So, having a fast way to just copy and then paste a raw list of tasks into a project at any time would save time and decrease frustration/complaints.

    Derek, I agree that it would be best to be able to include dates, etc. but getting a list of tasks into Workfront via copy/paste is a good start.

    Hello,

     

    This would be brilliant, as initial person detailed, teams often work in excel first and then move to Workfront when a complex project with many parts.

     

    Thanks

    Thank you for the submission! We think this is a good enhancement to the Workfront platform overall and this product area in particular!

     

    Workfront currently prioritizes large-scale, foundational enhancements such as the new Reporting experience and changes to the core data model, so this item does not fit in our near-term roadmap. As such, I am marking this as Declined now, but we'll keep this in our backlog for the improvements for this area so that we can revisit the decision in the future.

    Since this item has now been Declined (for now), I invite those interested to consider our Excel Updater solution to integrate data into Workfront without having to learn the API, write code, or set up a server, and is ideal for both one time and reoccurring data loads.

     

    Regards,

    Doug
