copy supertask from subtask - created column, need help please? se

[MC]

I have created a new text column (supertask) in project. Now I want to copy
the supertask over for each subtask into the new column. I am doing this so
that I can using in a database. Will you let me know if there is a way to do
this? I have numbers of rows. Thanks MC

ex.
supertask subtask
test1 +test1 <--supertask
test1 gotopage
test1 entertext
test1 downloadfile
test2 +test2 <--supertask
test2 runbatch
test2 checkerrors

Hello MC,
Sorry, I'm not following you. Do you want to add the entry in the
supertask field to the name of all of the subtasks? If so, you'll
need to use Edit > Fill down the supertask name into the text field
for each task. Then add a new text field and create a formula to
combine the Name field with the information in your original text
field.

Please clarify what you need -- I'm just not understanding "copy the
supertask over for each new subtask into the new column".

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
