Is it possible to export outlines to tasks, making all the items a task, or all the items at a particular level? This would be the best option. Failing that, can I turn an individual outline item (one-by-one) into a task?

This isn't possible yet, but is on our todo list.

That's an excellent way to quickly outline a project in all its dimensions and then convert it into tasks with status, reminders etc......if it were only possible |

This would an excellent feature, since I enjoy doing my project planning in outlines. Would be great to just covert items. I keep trying to do projects in the tasks area for simplicity but it just doesnt work well. Thanks

Upvote from me! I've read in the blog or online doc that a task can contain or reference an outline but to me this is upside down. As with the others above, the way I would use it would be to outline a project and then convert or link the outline elements as tasks. This way, I can see a "project" view in the outline mode and also see / act on the supporting actions in (a GTD fashion) from the task view.

Yes.
I have many mini-projects with several steps. An easy way to create a template ("Write article") as an outline with multiple steps ("Choose topic", "Collect research notes", "Draft article", etc.) with relative dates would be invaluable. When I accept an article assignment, I could copy the outline, choose a deadline, and paste the whole thing as a task with subtasks, all with dates calculated relative to the deadline.

Thanks for the suggestion. We do not comment on timeframes for implementation, but this is on our to-do list.
