Struggling with this right now! As a new user I'm still figuring out how best to use ClickUp, so I have a huge checklist on one task, that I now realized would be better to have as it's own list within the Space/Folder.

Please make this a feature!

Yes, please! I found this request because I was Googling how to do it. Seems like a very easy and obvious feature to have. Or at least let us highlight all the items and copy and paste them into subtasks.

Yes, I need this please.

Any status on this? Much needed feature both short and long term for a task lifecycle. Many checklist "short tasks" evolve. Its agile. Please develop this or comment on if it will be.

absolutely! here's a GTD usecase example. I drop a simple item into my inbox, we'll call it "file income tax return". Then when I'm reviewing inbox, I add a checklist to the task to brainstorm what I need to do, realising that it is a bunch of actions, I want to make it a project . So I move the inbox item to my Projects Folder and then when I'm doing my Project Reviews, I want to break down that checklist into specific tasks and subtasks.
Happy to do it checklist item by item but I think a great feature would be to convert the whole checklist into individual tasks in my new "File Income Tax Return" list in my Projects folder.
Simple, yes?

Question for people here. Are we mostly looking at one off checklist item to task or do you find yourself needing to convert an entire tree of checklist with nested checklists?
Guy Mannerings
Ivan Villa: Both. ... Sorry! If I have to pick, probably entire tree with nested checklists.

Ivan Villa: A one-by-one conversion will suffice as it can be used to convert whole list or a single item to sub-task. If the only option was to convert the whole checklist to sub-tasks, then it would not give the option to convert a single checklist item to sub-task.
Omar Conte
Ivan Villa: One by one option should be available in my opinion. Then entire tree is a plus.
Paul Seymour
Ivan Villa: For me at this moment, a whole list. Actually surprised it's not there. But, I can see use cases for individually, as well, as stated above.
I will now manually proceed to sadly convert a big list into subtasks. Please, consider! Thank you!
Aurora Harper
Ivan Villa: Both! Right now I'd like the option to convert the whole checklist, but I can definitely see in the future where an individual option would help as well.

This would save a lot of time. I would also like to add the ability to export any checklist or subtask to a CSV or Excel format. This would also be great to import a CSV or Excel File into a Checklist or Sub-Task.
