1. move a list of tasks up and down together within a note
2. move a list of tasks to another note
3. select a list of tasks and bulk edit their properties such as start date and importance

Lucian AdminHey there HL! Thanks for your suggestion! A rather similar thing to what you are describing is already planned for the not so distant future. In the meantime:
1. Moving multiple tasks inside a task list should be possible by selecting them (with "Shift-Arrows") and using "Ctrl-Shift-Arrows".
2. Moving multiple tasks to another note is possible when they are nested under a single task (using the "!move" task command) and also using the new Extract-to-note button: https://www.amplenote.com/help/double-bracket-note-link-syntax#Extracting_text_selection_to_a_note -

TomThis is similar to the notes multi-select. It should be simple to select multiple tasks for tagging, completing, and similar. For example, I wanted to delete multiple startup tasks that Amplenote suggested (download iOS app, add a footnote, etc.), but had to do that one by one. Down the road this would be especially helpful for switching tags as projects change, or dimissing/deleting multiple tasks.

BettinaYes please: Bulk editing of notes, not only tasks! For editing tags, deleting, mark/unmark as shortcut, adding collaborateurs, downloading, and so on- everything I could do with a note.

Pat Nims MergedIt would be super helpful to be able to select multiple tasks and then copy, move, add tags and links, set start date, priority ect.

Roger SearjeantJust want to add my voice to this request. If I collect tasks in an Inbox note then when I review that note I will want to select several tasks and move them to todo/personal or todo/work etc. As things stand I have to process them one at a time and the move requires typing !move then typing the target note title.

j leoCurrent Work around, for those who are using Task list / To-do and needs moving in bulk :
if you have Arc web browser or Microsoft edge, the split view tabs does wonders,
just drag and drop from 1 tab to another,
however it might duplicate on your notes , requiring you to manually remove the top portion
e.g say , today, jan 5th 2023, jots, you moved your previous to-do-list / task scheduled , via drag and drop in the split tab, to your 2nd tab in a 2nd split view tab, to a proper [ template ] Page that you have done with Kanban or grid or boxes you have done,
if the select all is fixed, at least via the desktop web browser interface, the mobile iOS should be heckalot easier to maanger on the fly later -
