Currently it’s possible to import a spreadsheet into a Glide Table via right mouse click on the table, etc…

I would like an action that would allow the user to perform this action from inside the App.

1. Action would required a configuration field for the destination Glide Table
2. Action would required a configuration field to either (a) Overwrite existing data in the destination Table starting at the first row, or (b) Append new rows to the destination Table

In practice, when the user triggers the action a window would open up and prompt the user to select and upload a spreadsheet file.

Neat idea. Would need to be VERY careful that the user doesn’t upload a CSV of 100k rows and thus break the row threshold of the app.
