I don’t think it’s possible to paste from clipboard into a range of cells in the data table editor.

This would be so so useful versus working directly in the Google sheet.

Any plans? I would love this.

This python solution apparently allows you to paste a single row at a time (I’ve not tried it)…

> Hi all, Just in case this isn’t common, here’s a workaround I’m using to bulk import data into glide tables (need to use Python). Run the above script in Python and move to an open window with a glide table showing and your cursor in the first column you want to enter data into Once the script is done, data will be entered in automatically. You’ll need to extend this to work with the data you want to enter. Cheers!

Thanks - nice tip. I’m reluctant to use scripts though.
