There is a Multi edit function in toodledo - You need to do a search first to find your 15 items - the easiest way to do that is to assign a tag to your 15 items - then search on that tag - when you get the search results screen, you will see multi edit in the top right corner - click on that and you will see that you can make lots of changes to the group. No matter what I would not want to try managing 400 tasks with paper.! The number of tasks you're trying to manage is all the more reason to use a software solution.
