rapid data selection entry the easy way–thanks James!

Have you ever lamented entering in loads of items into data selection?  Had them in a spreadsheet and thought this should be easier! 
Ever wanted to cut and paste from a spreadsheet directly into data selection?  Well, today might be your day.

2 cool things

You can cut and paste data selection – totally RAD
You can identify object identifications

Now the big one, ever needed to cut and paste 100 items into data selection?
No more.
Grab your column from a spreadsheet, and just paste

See there is two new controls, somewhere to paste data selection and somewhere to trigger the action.
Just paste your values in from a spreadsheet:

Then hit Add!
Wow, that might have just saved you a lot of time.
All thanks to James for putting this neat plugin together.
Now that you know how this works, please let us know any other enhancements or productivity gains that we could put into the plugin.

I tried to install the plugin to Chrome 83.0.4103.61. I can paste in a list, but when I hit the plus, I only get zero in the bottom box.
