Manage Labels Bulk Label Import

Open abfleishman opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Need

Adding labels with the current UI is tedious and time-consuming if you have more than a few to add. This is a barrier to setting up a new dataset to work with.

Proposed Solutions

If there was a method to import a CSV with a list of labels and optionally any other attribute of those labels (color for boxes?) that would greatly accelerate this aspect. Instead of a file import, it could also be a text box or something that you can just paste/type into that animl then parses into labels.

Another idea would be a system to just "import" labels from another project that you have access to. that way you could avoid having to type them all in every time you want to start a new project.

@abfleishman noted! I like both of those proposed solutions. Implementing that should be relatively straightforward but I worry a little bit about validating such an unstructured input (and reporting validation errors to users). All solvable though.
