Allow Import of Smart Lists from Reminders

This small change would make a major difference in the usability of the sync feature. Currently, it's all or nothing. If you want to sync anything from a task list you have to sync the whole thing. I don't think it's an unusual use case to want to organize things by project or other context and keep that organizational structure while also scheduling just the immediate next steps. This is why it's possible to both organize by list and also tag individual reminders by date in most task management systems.

I should be able to make a smart list in reminders that includes only those items I want to be dealing with in the near or immediate future and then sync just that list with Structured. Without that ability, the sync feature is not very useful.

One of the most popular requests on this feedback board is for more organization of the inbox. I think the reason people are asking for this is because of the lack of ability to import smart lists.

It doesn't make sense to make a whole full featured task management system out of the inbox in Structured. It's mission creep, and duplicating work already being done by a much more resourced team - Apple.

Just let us organize tasks in Reminders and then have a realistic way for us to import the ones that make sense to import without having to either break our organization system in reminders (by manually moving items out of the list they belong in to one that syncs with structured) or importing everything into an unstructured inbox.

Thanks!
