Great tool !! Thank you for such a nice thing !! It would be great if importing environment variables is made much more easier. In addition to the import from file option , if it allows me to paste from clipboard in json or properties format into an environment , it would be very helpful. In my use case, I have to add 100s of env variable which are generated using script. Of course, I can write that to a json file and import it but I have to do it for 5-6 environments everyday.

Hi Prabhakaran, Thanks for feedback, if your current env is .env files you can also import them.

Or is your current environments are in different format?

Hi Ranga, Thanks for the reply. I don't have a format and I usually generate using custom script and write the env variables into the format of the tooling. I'm currently using REST client for VSCode and trying to move to ThunderClient. REST client allows me to manage env as one big json file which is very handy for my use-case. I will also try out .env file and update you !!!
