inserting a whole attribute category in one step?
 

I don't know whether this is good or bad practice - but I do this quite a lot and it works for me, which is to turn any item/document type into a Task - that is to add task category attributes to an item or doc that was not created as an 'official' task...

And when I do this I would, instead of having to add a number of task attributes one by one, like to be able to add the entire set, or category of task attributes in one operation.

I was wondering whether others thought this crazy, or a good thing? And therefore whether Kevin might choose to add this capability to the new features TBA list.

If you are adding "Reminder" attributes, you can easily add them all by first adding either a Reminder or Recurring attribute. The related attributes (Begin Date, Begin Time, etc) will also be added automatically.

Another, more generic, way of adding a group of attributes is to change the Template attribute of the Info Item(s) in question to an alternate template that contains the desired additional attributes.

Note: currently the system Task template is not compatible with either the Text or Document templates (due to it also working with Outlook Tasks), but you can create a new "Task" template that is compatible with either (by basing this new template on the appropriate existing template) then adding the desired additional attributes to it.
