Bulk copy and paste new Slot

It's pretty critical to be able to upload a file to generate a custom slot. We have a couple slots with many hundreds of values and hand building a new slot would be a huge undertaking across all the language types. This flat out won't work for us.

    I need a feature wherein I can upload multiple slot values for a custom slot. Adding it to the existing json is not helpful directly as it has a name value pairing,

    Copy all utterances and intents from existing Skill to a new Skill (save time to cut-n-paste and populate similar input but different skill).

    There needs to be a way to quickly copy/paste many slot values/utterances as there was in the old portal. It's extremely annoying to have to copy/paste dozens, if not hundreds, of new Utterances from a list created elsewhere (such as excel or version control). The old portal I could just copy and paste in seconds.

    I just copy and paste the data in the json editor of the model builder and keep it in a local file, make my programmatic changes there and then paste back into the json editor. Would that work in your case?
