Objects: Multi-select: Insert multiple options at once about twenty HOT 5 CLOSED

Disclaimer: This comment was automatically generated with AI. It can give some useful hints as to where to look for, but sometimes it can also give very inaccurate answers so takes this with a pinch of salt :).

To implement a textarea for bulk insertion of multi-select options:

1. Modify SettingsObjectFieldSelectForm component:

   • Add a textarea input for bulk option insertion.
   • Update the handleSetOptionAsDefault and handleRemoveOptionAsDefault functions to handle multiple options.

2. Update form rendering:

   • Refer to SettingsDataModelFieldSelectSettingsFormCard for form rendering logic.

3. Update type selection:

   • Refer to SettingsObjectFieldTypeSelectSection for handling type selection logic.

This will allow users to input multiple options at once for multi-select fields.

We should add a ⌘⏎ or ⏎ shortcut that adds a new option when typing a value.

@Bonapara interesting, but does not solve the issue. If the user needs to insert 50 options, she still has to do it one by one, even if it's easier with ⏎.

What's needed is to be able to paste a full list. Either with a textarea, or maybe just capturing the paste event when focus is in the option input, and populate as many new option inputs as needed. That would be even more elegant than a textarea. But it's not obvious, so a tip should make clear that you can paste a list instead of typing it.

@livingstonlarus, thanks for sharing this use case. We won't implement this in the short term, but we'll keep it in mind and turn this issue into a discussion so people can upvote it!
