Batch/bulk edit, Select Multiple tasks to move or edit
Marcel Farrés Franch
Sometimes I want to organize a week and there are a lot of tasks to move, it will be very convenient to be able to move groups of tasks to a different day at the same time.
Long story short, select multiple tasks from one/multiple days and move all at the same time to another day.

yes I can't believe this wasn't one of the initial features on Sunsama. This is core and fundamental please! All we need is the ability to select all or select multiple and move
Kelvin Kang
Here's a variant of the same concept. A bulk move in the Daily Plan view would be an amazing feature to add.
Currently, I'll go through my daily plan and fill up my day with the appropriate tasks that are prioritized. At the "What can wait?" screen, it'd be ideal to have a button to automatically move all unscheduled tasks to the next day. This is a task that I perform every single day and would be a nicety to be able to just automate.

please add this soon Ashutosh Priyadarshy, if you go on vacation or something, your tasks pile up and you literally have to spend an hour rescheduling them on by one, pretty ridiculous
Ashutosh Priyadarshy
Ben Woodward - Until this is built one thing you can do is use the keyboard shortcuts to quickly move things to the next day or the backlog, much faster than dragging and dropping.

Editing and moving tasks in a productivity app one-by-one without bulk select/action support is unproductive.
Patrick Moulton
Is this still just a consideration? Original request was made 4 years ago. This seems like a fundamental need before adding more integrations

Moving all tasks at the same time

Can we have a "ctrl+a" feature where I can automatically auto-select all tasks at the same time and move them forward a day by dragging them to the next day all at once?
I prioritize less important tasks by moving them to the end of the viewable weekday and keep immediate tasks on the current day; mid-priority tasks are organized in the in-between days. The next day, I have to separate tasks and re-organize them to this same viewable preference one-by-one because my unfinished tasks from the previous day and next-day tasks get mixed together, and end-of-the-week tasks are moved back a day (so I have to move them to the new end-of-the-week day). I have to sort everything out again instead of just moving everything up one day.

Bumping this back up again. This would be especially helpful/valuable now that you can drag and drop tasks into each other.
With the new Zapier integration, I've set up a few zaps that bring more tasks/notifications into Sunsama, and it would be amazing if I could just quickly grab a bunch and add them to my "Daily Inbox" task.

Kevin Kirkpatrick Yes! Batch editing by drag and drop is just so valuable, now more than ever.
Cristian Sanchez
Kevin Kirkpatrick this is a good bump. They’re so close with the combine function. Now we just need to hold shift to select multiple — can’t wait for this feature!

Yes I also strongly support this

Ashutosh Priyadarshy Alex Cunningham and team -- I'm just coming back to say again just how fantastic this feature would be. As a power user of Sunsama (I usually it daily as my workhorse and have tried a very large part of the surface area across web and mobile), bulk move of events would be
massive
for me. I often know that I need to move a bulk batch of tasks to a particular date (e.g. the weekend for personal activities, or a future week after travel for certain category of work tasks) and this is a very slow and painful presently. This would be my #1 feature request for Sunsama presently.Dodge Rea
Soroush Pour: 100% agree.

Ashutosh Priyadarshy I also would love to see batch edit features in Sunsama. In particular, I find myself having to push back tasks on the calendar fairly frequently and it's a hassle to have to do them one by one
Alex Cunningham
Anne Mydla: Hey Anne, if your tasks are scheduled on the calendar back-to-back more or less, does the auto-rescheduling feature effectively "push back" tasks in a way that works for you? https://help.sunsama.com/docs/auto-rescheduling
Anne Mydla
Alex Cunningham: No, it never pushes them back when i take longer on a task than I predicted, only forwards when I finish something early! I've looked in the settings for how to fix this, but haven't found anything yet
Alex Cunningham
Anne Mydla: Hm, you should see a setting like this... is this setting turned on for you? If this is on, and you extend the end of a working session such that it conflicts with the next scheduled task, they should get pushed back.
