How to import multiple files of the same structure without having to go through the import config again and again?

I am setting up Grist to replay the Budgeting process I have done this year which consolidates data from 70+ countries. Each country budget is captured in an Excel file which has many sheets. For now, I just want to import only 1 sheet called Budget FY25. I have imported the first country XL file, and set up the column options and some summary tables. Now I want to import other budgets - but I have to say Skip import on each of the files again and again. Is there anyway to make Grist remember these settings as a template?

Hey there,

Unfortunately, there’s currently no way for Grist to remember preferences/settings for imports but I’ll share this feedback with the team! I’ve done imports like this where you have to go in and skip each tab and it is tedious!

Thank you for the feedback, we appreciate it!
