Allow importing data the way humans organize data
Humans don't keep their data in excel like this:
[COLUMN 1] [COLUMN 2]
[LINE 1] Apples
[LINE 2] Red
[LINE 3] Peppers
[LINE 4] Red
[LINE 5] Green
Humans keep their data in spreadsheets like this:
[COLUMN 1] [COLUMN 2]
[LINE 1] Apples Red
[LINE 2] Peppers Red
[LINE 3] Green
To reformat the data is no trivial task. I don't even mind importing 10 separate times to get 10 separate child thoughts for my 100 parent thoughts, but I certainly don't want to reformat 1000 thoughts because the import outline utility is not robust and has not improved since version 4.5 of the Brain.
I'd love to be wrong about this. This is a big reason I stopped using the brain many years ago.

I'd like to be able to delete this post. The spaces in my text didn't work so I re-posted using ---- for spaces so it makes more sense.
