For the CSV export format from Bonsai desktop, are the column types/definitions defined somewhere?
Thanks!

Hello Takabanana,

It's in the manual, under:
Bonsai Outliner for Windows > How Do I ... ? > Export an Outline > Fixed Format

That says:
"The order of the columns for the CSV export is as follows;

1. Title
2. Unique Id
3. Item type ( 0=Simple, 1=To Do, 2=Task)
4. Outline depth (0=root)
5. Percent complete
6. Priority
<see below for the line which slots in here>
7. Create date
8. Start date
9. Due date
10. Competed date
11. Category text
12. Keywords
13. Contact
14. Note "

- So you were pretty close with your list. Since writing the manual, they've added a column new column 7 (which bumps all the later items up by one), for the "custom" numeric field.

Sorry to hear that all of your To-Dos are 0% complete, by the way. I have a similar relationship with my To-Do list, despite Bonsai and various books.

Regards,
Stéph
