How can I paste text into an ERD from another source or upload a file of formatted data?
This is not data exported from a current database. There are hundreds of field names so I am looking for a way to not have to type/paste them one by one.

Thanks for posting in the Lucid Community! Because this question pertains to ERD and potentially sensitive data I have created a ticket for our amazing Support Team to take a look at. They should be reaching back out shortly.
If anyone else out there is running into a similar issue feel free to post in the Community or comment in this thread. Cheers🍻

I have a string of text that I want to paste into a lucidchart diagram using the ERD blocks.
It doesn't allow to paste due to the formatting of the rows.
I want to paste the below into the rows.
i.e.
| MC Subscriber | Lookup(MC Subscriber) |
| Operating Hours | Lookup(Operating Hours) |
| Created By | Lookup(User) |
| Last Modified By | Lookup(User) |
| Physician's Assistant | Lookup(User) |
| Wellness Specialist | Lookup(User) |
| Old Field Email | Email (External ID) (Unique) |
| QB Reference Number | Text(16) (External ID) (Unique Case Insensitive) |
| Alcohol Use | Picklist |
| Attending Physician | Picklist |
| Caffeine Use | Picklist |
| Client Source | Picklist |
| Client Status | Picklist |
| Client Type | Picklist |
| Employment Status | Picklist |
Or
MC Subscriber | Lookup(MC Subscriber)

Created By | Lookup(User)
Last Modified By | Lookup(User)
