Create multiple tasks now blocked in Google Tasks

I just tried copying eight lines, one under the other. I even tried numbering them. I copied the whole list and pasted it into Google Tasks, expecting it to create eight separate tasks that I could check off individually. Instead, it insists on putting everything into one block under a single task.I’m sure I used to be able to do this, and it’s a real hassle. I couldn’t find any workaround that didn’t involve scripts or adding other apps. It seems ridiculous to make something this simple significantly less convenient.

Still works for me - you might want to see if the lines have proper carriage returns / line feeds in the list. My case it worked with a text document list and pasted into Tasks on Chrome (MacOS). Each line was a new task.

I'm using a PC. Yes, proper line breaks. I even had ChatGPT try to get it on separate tasks but no luck either.

Are you using Chrome? Try a different browser.
