Import multiple settings to Extension Block

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

A developer is building a Shopify block extension with multiple settings and wants to enable bulk import functionality. They have an external tool (not integrated with Shopify) where configuration data can be copied, and they’re seeking a way to import all settings at once while preserving the option for manual configuration.

Current Challenge:

  • Multiple individual settings exist in the block extension
  • Need to maintain manual editing capability
  • Want to add bulk import feature for efficiency

Proposed Solution:

  • Considering a button that triggers a modal
  • Would allow pasting data in a structured format (e.g., JSON)
  • Would populate all fields simultaneously

The post includes screenshots showing the current tool interface and block settings, though the implementation approach remains uncertain.

I am creating a block extensions with multiple settings. I also have an interface on my tool (which is not integrated to shopify) where I can copy those informations. I would like to keep is as multiple settings on shopify in case someone wants to manually set it, but I would also love to be able to import they all at once.

Is there a way to paste a string (JSON Format for example) and to fill all the fields at once ? Maybe with a button to click and a modal or i don’t know.

Current state of the app :
