Non-CSV "Import List" Into Shape (Not Sticky Note)

I have lists of text phrases I want to import into Process boxes from the Flowchart library.

Creating a CSV file with all the detail for each list / text phrase is more work than it's worth.

I have successfully used the "Import List" to bring the text phrases into Sticky Notes – but this functionality isn't available for the Process box and it's not possible to import into a Sticky Note then change to a Process box as the "Change Shape" feature only works for shapes from the same Shape Library.

Is there any way to do this with a simple copy-and-paste of a list vs. creating a more complex CSV? If not this would be a great enhancement.

Hi Kevin

Thanks for posting on the community.

Unfortunately there is currently no streamlined way to accomplish what you are describing. However we're always looking for ways to improve Lucidchart and your feedback is the best way for us to do that. We will pass on your feedback to our product development team for their consideration.

Thanks for your request and I apologize for any inconvenience this causes you.

Hi, it has been three years, does this feature exist yet?

I have a long list (outline form, think Work Breakdown Structure), I want to be able to “batch process” the list to create a Process box for each item in the list.

Hi @tbarney, thanks for adding your thoughts to this use case. I’ve converted this thread to an “idea” so our product team can take a look, so please add any additional thoughts or details about your use case in this thread.
