Is there anyway to import bulk data through the CloudKit Dashboard?

Question

I see how to create record types and add records one at a time in the CloudKit dashboard. I want to try adding a few hundred records for testing. Is there any way to import CSV or JSON files into dashboard?

No there is not. You have to create an import mechanism in your app. (Or you could use the CloudKit api from another app/website)

On one hand you can only create records one at a time in the CloudKit dashboard.

On the other hand, you can import a CSV or JSON file as a CKAsset field in each record. Then your app can fetch that CKRecord and parse the CKAsset field.
