Importing assignments from OmniOutliner

[somethingkindawierd]

I am using OmniOutliner to collaborate on a plan with others. Everyone uses Outliner to create the data for their portion of the project. Then I import the data into OmniPlan and paste it into the main plan document.

I am having a problem with importing Assignments. It does not seem to have a mechanism to group people. If the Outliner document has "Ken" assigned to one task, and "Ken, Ben" assingned to another task, it imports "Ken, Ben" as another person, not as a group with Ken and Ben in it.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is there no way to do this yet?

There's a trick to making this work. If you use a ; instead of a , to separate the resources, OmniPlan will import it properly. Basically, you need to match how OmniPlan displays its own assignment strings. Even something like this is possible: Ken; Bob (50% of 100%)
