Mass Update to Effort Mode
In order to project incoming work YoY our agency frequently duplicates current projects and reschedules them for the coming year. One of the major hurdles to this is updating the effort mode. Team members frequently change the mode to flexible. When forecasting, we utilize basic. Is there a way to update the effort mode of tasks en masse? Currently we have to adjust task by task, and when there are 100+ tasks per project, that can become excessively tedious. Any tips would be welcome!
Thanks.

Hi Craig McKenzie, thanks for reaching out!
It's not currently possible to mass update effort mode.

Craig McKenzie the response from the Wrike support team was the following:
"We don't have an effort type mass update, but it's possible to copy and paste the effort amount and type at the same time together in Classic Table view by dragging over the value into other tasks."
I just go back in and do it the old fashioned way, honestly.
Wrike Team, wondering if the mass edit option to the effort type is something being considered for any future updates. Our projects have over 1500 tasks and having this feature would be super useful.
I also noticed that if importing activities there is no way to select the effort type, so they all get uploaded with the "Basic" effort type. Again would be helpful if that was a field which could be exported and imported.
Thank you.
Thank you for your feedback Abhishek Tiwary! We don't have updates on this at the moment, but your feedback has been noted!
