Insomnia: [Feature Request] Allow bulk edit for query params

Created on 9 Aug 2018  路  7Comments  路  Source: Kong/insomnia

The Header tab has a Bulk Edit button that lets you quickly edit multiple parameters and makes it easy to copy parameters between routes. The Import from Url is useful, but in some cases it would be nicer to copy and paste parameters between endpoints using the existing bulk editor rather than doing so by url. Can we have the Bulk Edit button and functionality copied to the Query tab?

Insomnia v6.0.2

accepted good first issue help wanted

a=b&c=d&e=f format would not be convenient for large arguments.
It will be good to additionally allow to enter edit line by line.

@gschier - I wanted to pick this one up. Any preference on implementation in the bulk editor? Was looking to basically use similar functionality as the header editor. I wasn't sure however if the name/value functionality should be done like headers with name: value or follow more general with query parameter formatting such as name=value on each line. Any other thoughts are welcome too.

I think it should be the same as the header editor with regards to how it works. But, I think the format for the text being edited should be a raw query string a=b&c=d&e=f. That way users can copy/paste query strings into it and have it work.

bulk editing for FormURL encoded body would make sense as well

I got a strong use-case for this one. I want to trigger a Jenkins job with around 30 params copied from the last job. Typing those params manually one by one will take like forever so no choice but to move back to PostMan since it has got the Bulk Edit function for queries. Hopefully, somebody will take this task for implementation.

I have a usecase for this , cant typeaway 50 colums comma separated . back to postman.
