Port tasks on to a list?

I recently had to let go of a start-up venture that didn't work out. I had several recurring and someday/maybe tasks related to the "Context" of this venture. I still have the hope that I can pursue this venture in the future so I'd like to preserve all the "tasks" in the venture Context, but I don't want to keep the Context as a Context because it's no longer relevant, and I don't want it showing up in Folder views. Does anyone know of a way quicker than manual entry or exporting CSV's to port all the tasks listed in this certain Context into a Toodledo List?

Unfortunately, there is not a way to transfer set of tasks into the lists section, but this is a good idea. I'll add it to our todo list.

In the meantime, it should be possible with a little work.

1) Export tasks via CSV
2) Open in Excel and sort by context column
3) Delete unwaned rows
4) Resave as CSV file
5) Import into Lists

You may also want to try this:
1) Make an advanced search for this context.
2) Use the "multi-edit" tool to add a unique tag to each of these tasks.
3) Use the "tag filter" to hide these tasks
4) Delete the context.
These tasks will stay hidden as long as you use that tag filter, and the context will no longer exist (it will be a tag instead)
