Editing Locations?
I recently moved cities and now all my locations like Home, Work, Target, etc. are invalid. I plan on using the same businesses and location names, I just want to move them all to their new locations in my new city. What's the easiest or most efficient way to do this? I didn't want to delete them all and readd them because then I'd have to retag all my tasks with the same location names they already have now, which seems unnecessary. Any advice on this?

Hi mystwillow,
Unfortunately it's not currently possible to move a location in RTM. The best workaround that I could come up with is something like:
1) Rename your current "Home" location to "Old Home".
2) Create a new location called "Home" for your new residence.
3) Search for tasks located at "Old Home" by searching for: location:"Old Home"
4) Select all results by clicking on the Select "All" link (or pressing the keyboard shortcut, "a").
5) Turn multi-edit mode on with the keyboard shortcut, "m".
6) Edit the location for the selected tasks to be "Home" rather than "Old Home".
I'm not sure if that's the easiest or most efficient, but it should achieve "moving" the locations. :)
Hope this helps!
