#1286: Quire Feedback
Status: Completed

Hi,

Currently I'm working in a team where only trello fits all needs for the group. I have a strong need for quire and the easy sorting tasks with infinite subtasks and the intelligent filter.

Let me tell you the case: In Trello I'm a member of a board from other organization. I'm assigned to 200/300 tasks monthly.

Trello has a way to export an entire board to a Json... it's not perfect cause come with all cards of all members. Then I've made a script to converts the minimum of information to a CSV loadable to TickTick.

So... wait.. and Quire? Last night a passed hours in my private accounting trying to import.

I've changed my script to generate a CSV, then opened with my spreadsheet program (tried Google Spreadsheets, Gnumeric and LibreOffice). On the software opens as expected. Then I copied and pasted in Quire... but tags aren't recognized, the descriptions only without linebreaks and due dates not defined.

Then I tried to open the CSV in a text editor and Ctrl-C Ctrl-V on Quire... Each line of tasks where created, including the CSV first line supposed to be the headers. Again, line breaks become messy in descriptions and hastags and due date are only accepted in human form.

Last attempts I generated the basic one task by line simple document. Again, tags were not recognized and due dates only without year.

Name Description Tag Due "Teste de tarefa" "Descreve tarefa" tagtarefa 2018-10-20

By the time I'm tracking these tasks in a list form only on trello + ticktick.

Would be nice if you could accept simple jsons to import, it could be appealing to more users come to your app or integrate them via browser extensions:

{ [ "name":"Teste de tarefa", "tag":"tagtarefa", "description":"Teste de tarefa", "duestring":"2018-10-20", "duestamp": /* unixtimestamp for more general automations / 0, "assignee": "me", "priority": 2, "list": [ / sub tasks in the same format above /] ], [ / next tasks... */ ] }

Here is an example... I converted date to this more generic way including time but could be in other standards with no problem.

image.png I've made adjusts in an test csv, using an existing tag and changing due to a simpler date without time. The problem persists. What I'm doing wrong?

Ok, @vicky_p thank you.

Note: I edited again my CSV trying to use

Name,Description,Tag,Due
"NameStr","DescrStr",samanta,"Oct 03,2018"
"NameStr2","DescrStr2",samanta,"Sep 24,2018"

But not worked too...

Hi Thadeu, Yes, being able to import from JSON is in our plan. What does your exported (generated) CSV file look like? If would be great if you could send attach the file (without the sensitive data) here for us to look into it. Thanks!

Hi Thadeu, It is working at our end. 😞 Can you please let us know what app (software) you opened the CSV file with? For example, Excel. Thanks.

@paulosantos Hi, right now we don't support importing attachment files yet.

Question about Json import from Trello: where are all my attachment files? They didn't show up.

ZOOGEEK, Jul 14, 2019

Hi Thadeu, Thank you for the example. I am able to paste successfully but two things to note:

  1. the tag “Produtos” has to be an existing tag in the project for it to be recognized,
  2. the format of the date has to be in the format of the country you selected in your Account Settings. For example, if you selected English (United States), the date format should be Nov 18, 2016. In this example, 11/18/2016, 11-18-2016 and 11.18.2016 are recognized too.
