Contacts - Confusion on where Copy / Paste Multiple contacts is located

I see you no longer allow copy / paste of multiple emails which is horrible for me. At the end of each week I copy and paste my emails over. Sometimes there's quite a few. It's a horrible change that my whole office is upset about. PLEASE CHANGE THIS BACK!!! There's over 20 of us using your product here, all of which are upset!

Hi everybody,

 

My name is Mike and I'm the Product Manager over the Contacts experience. I'm in charge of the Contacts product and that includes working out what customers want to help the business to build the right product.

 

I got this one wrong. It was not my intention to fully get rid of the paste functionality, but felt the table flow's benefits was too good to not release it immediately. I sincerely apologize for the disruption to your business and day. I am very empathetic to having your day derailed by something outside of your control.

 

We are working on adding the paste functionality to the new page as soon as possible, within 5-10 days. In the meantime, you can still reach the old page to continue your normal flow by going directly to the old flow: https://ui.constantcontact.com/rnavmap/distui/contacts#imports/new_by_email

 

Thank you,

Mike

The devs are looking into getting this parity applied as quickly as they're able. We will update this thread accordingly, when we receive an update from them.

There needs to be a way to paste multiple emails at one time in one box like there used to be. People are adding multiple emails at once to a contact list and copying and pasting one at a time is not convenient at all.

The new UI for adding multiple contacts is very clean, but the delete contact line does now show up easily and is also easy to mistakenly hit when using tab between inputs. A red x next to these lines would be much better.

 

The + box at the bottom only adds 1 contact at a time which is frustrating when adding 50 contacts - I have to click this button 20+ times to do it as using tab when at the bottom of the fillable fields no longer adds another line for a contact.

Are there plans to add this feature back? I agree - this change was a downgrade.
