Import Characters/Locations into Codex from List (Text File or Similar)

When adding an existing novel, it would help to be able to import characters and locations from a list rather than enter/paste each one individually.
A list of characters and/or locations for this purpose can be easily extracted from an existing work using an AI (e.g. Claude).
This may be slightly similar to the Notion Integration feature request (https://feedback.novelcrafter.com/feedback/p/notion-integration), but could easily help people who don't use Notion. (I do use Notion a lot, but even so, a plain text file or similar might still be easier.

I wanted to use this feature as a workaround for the fact that there is no global search-and-replace in the codex. I wanted to export the entire codex, put it in a text editor, find-and-replace the terms I want changed throughout the whole thing, then upload the updated codex back into novelcrafter. Alas. :')

I built my codex outside of Novel Crafter and need to be able to import codex entries to even get started writing. Any updates when this feature may become available?

Also the ability to duplicate a codex entry. Because then you can use the "move to" function to move the duplicated codex entry to another book or series. I spent a day entering the PBN system into a new novel template, but I have books already started and in Novelcrafter that I'd like to send the PBN system over to. Since I can't export them and then import them, just being able to duplicate a codex entry would at least simplify the process or reentering EVERYTHING again for every existing book already in Novelcrafter.

Yes!! I'm frustrated by the lack of the ability to upload a file—even a simple .txt or .md file—to populate the description field of a Codex entry.

I would love this feature to come out! I use the codex using the Paint-By-Numbers method and my friend also wants to use it. but isn't up to manually copy and pasting 200+ codex entries, so seeing how exporting exists, it be nice if importing codex entries would be possible too!

Pretty much how we're able to copy a novel's codex into another novel, allow that to also be an import function, specifically NovelCrafter to NovelCrafter compatible - that way users could share their codex organisation entries with the community.

Random author here. I heard yesterday they are currently working on this, but it's not a function at the moment. Hopefully soon though.
