Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V are used for copy/paste of tasks and it seems to work two different ways.
I have been able to paste from my clipboard to "Import" a list of tasks.
Also, from within the application, when you copy, it copies your tasks to your clipboard with asterisks and indentation for subtasks.
What I just noticed, though is that Ctrl + V does not always paste what's in your clipboard. I understand this is by design because you want to paste the task objects as opposed to the text only.
After copying and pasting a task (with subtasks), I copied a list of tasks from notepad, but when I go to paste that list of tasks to "Import" them- it is pasting the task that I selected before, and not what is in my clipboard. The "Import" process isn't possible anymore after you've copy / pasted within the application.
What seems to be happening is that the way you handle copy / paste to allow entire tasks objects to be copied / pasted does not include a check to compare the clipboard to the clipboard value you store.
I would suggest that when you handle the Ctrl + V key press, that you verify that the clipboard contents match what you copied to the clipboard from within the application (with asterisks and indentations).
If (clipboardContents == savedClipboardText) PasteClipboardObjects Else ImportClipboardText End If
Hopefully that makes sense.
Thanks,

Hi, I just figured out a workaround to allow for me "import" after copy/pasting from within the application. I found the menu option for import from clipboard (which tells you CTRL + V). I think my original solution makes sense and should be implemented- but for anybody else experiencing the same issue with CTRL + V, that can be a temporary workaround.

Hi @brian.mortus - We had fixed this issue in the latest update.
Now, when you paste, it should paste the tasks you copied from the notepad.
