Multiple selected tasks, set due date

aflato says:
Hi, when I have a few tasks selected and want to set the due date for them all, it only sets the due date for the task that I clicked (or selected by keyboard shortcut) last.
Thanks!

Currently it's not possible to set the due date for multiple tasks (the task details on the right are for a single task only). We're looking into allowing multiple tasks to be edited -- would people find this useful?

Yes, Emily, speaking just for myself, obviously enough, I would find the assignation of due dates to multiple items at once very useful.

Yes, I agree. This would be necessary especially with emailed multiple tasks.

Currently, we can add, say, 15 tasks to a specific list by email. However, we then have to assign the due date per task.

Being able to add due dates to multiple tasks would be swell.

Yes I would it useful to set due dates for multiple tasks, but usually when I do that the dates are different for each task.
As I am getting into the habit of using your very useful e-mail import to setup my lists, it would be very useful if there could be a way to specify the due date on import, along with labels. That said I understand the problems of doing that, keeping it simple and parsing text in a way that doesn't generate errors.


That said what would be useful is to assign labels or multiple labels to tasks. I can think of two cases where I would use this:
One where I use labels to assign tasks to individuals, and another where I assign a context to a task (Context being defined as where I would do this particular task, examples: phone call, e-mail, home, errands).

Labels are simple and would give people the flexibility to "customize" things to their way of doing things.

Thanks!!!
