Tasks: [Feature Request] Add Import Tasks button to Settings.

Created on 26 Oct 2017  路  3Comments  路  Source: nextcloud/tasks

When exporting my calendar and tasks from Google Apps it seems it is only possible to export one iCal file for the calendar and a separate iCal file for tasks.

Calendar features a 'Settings & Import' feature at the bottom left of the screen; however, Tasks just shows 'Settings', with no import feature.

Given this I thought there was no way to import tasks and opened https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/6877 in response.

I have now tried to upload the Tasks file via the Calendar app and it actually imported the tasks just fine. It was counter-intuitive to do this however. Another oddity of this is once imported the tasks display in Tasks, not Calendar.

Due to Google Apps popularity I believe it would be sensible to duplicate the Import button to Tasks to encourage seamless migration to Nextcloud.

You might also want to update "Settings" to "Settings & Import" to match Calendar.

That's apply to import tasks from ToDo popular formats like todo.txt, also.

You can import them with the Calendar app.
