Do you mean the ability to enter predecessors directly into a cell? 
That's something I've wanted to have as well. We just need someone to 
implement it :)

Agreed. This is unfortunately a bit cumbersome to implement with the 
current code. At some point we'll hopefully have the time to fix this.

I'm not sure how this could work. We would have to have very specific 
requirements on the data to import in order to interpret it in any way. 
Unless you mean export, which is something we have planned, and there is 
even a half finished oocalc export filter that needs finishing.
