### Use case or problem

Feature to bulk import notes in a Base from external files using the most used data formats (JSON, CSV, XML, etc.).

### Proposed solution

A button on an opened Base to choose a file to be imported so the notes are bulk created in the vault from each line/object of the input file. A destination folder and a custom template could be used to fill the note body (there’s an opened feature request for this).

### Current workaround (optional)

Currently there is the plugin [Import JSON](https://github.com/farling42/obsidian-import-json) which do it for JSON and CSV formats. But as now Obsidian released the wonderful Bases core plugin, I think the bulk import could be implemented for a perfect integration.
