    For any "base" object (one that you can built on, like addresses or services) there should be at least two templates:

    a blank one, for filling up with necessary data
    a "export" one, with all the data already present into the object list.

    While importing the information, rename, skip or overwrite should be possible operation.
    For any import operation, a log with "what and why" something happened (imported or rejected and why).

    Any row on both tables (imported and present) should have a primary key that could allow univocal identification of the row on both tables.

    Hi @Maverick87 ,

    There is currently no ETA for this request — it's still under evaluation.

    In the meantime, to implement batch creation, you can refer to the CLI. See page 461 of the CLI guide for an example of adding an Address object.
