Is it possible to create sticky notes from plain copied text? (not from table)

It doesn’t seem like there is an option to copy several lines of free standing text into individual post it notes. I see that it’s possible if I do this from a table to sticky notes. However, when text isn’t already in a table, I’d like to be able to copy and then paste it into Miro and see each of the lines represented as post it notes (if I so choose). Thanks!

Update: When you paste text onto a Miro board and there is a comma or a tab, Miro will prompt if you’d like to past as a Table, Grid, or Sticky notes.

@Simone Slaviero -

I took a quick look at the wish list backlog and couldn’t find a similar idea, so feel free to submit this following the guidelines here and remember to upvote it yourself: Wish List: Everything You Need to Know 🌠 | Miro

@Kiron Bondale  / @Simone Slaviero - I was cautiously optimistic this would be possible in the Sticky Note Bulk Mode, however, my tests did not work. Perhaps the Wish List item could include a suggestion for Bulk Mode to respect newlines.

Just in case it helps someone, here’s the workaround I used: I created a new Google sheet, pasted my multi line text into the Google sheet--one row per line--copied the content of the Google sheet, and pasted it into the bulk mode text field.
