You can try this:
INSERT INTO your_table_name(parent_id,priority,text,shortname,weighting,g_or_a,
dept,ksf,day_start,day_end,date_start,date_end,depends_on,is_question,budget,
ccode,responsible,accountable,consulted,informed)
(SELECT parent_id,priority,text,shortname,weighting,g_or_a,dept,ksf,
day_start,day_end,date_start,date_end,depends_on,is_question,budget,ccode,
responsible,accountable,consulted,informed FROM your_table_name);
Firstly, insert one row in the table 'your_table_name'
. Replace your_table_name
with the actual table name in above code & execute the code repeatedly until it satisfies the required row numbers. I think it should work.
