If you have a list of hundreds of classes, you will soon be able to add them to one of your dataset by a simple copy-paste

I have a large list of classes and sub-classes. The current workflow requires I add them manually. Also, it'd be nice to add subclasses to maintain a hierarchical relationship.

Hi Dexter, thanks for your post. I'll merge it with this one: https://labelflow.canny.io/feature-requests/p/import-classes-from-csv

Regarding the subclasses, you can put a "/" between classes and subclasses: "Pole/Wood/Cracks" for instance. Would this meet your needs?

Dexter Lewis

Nicolas Draber: 
Nick, The "/" would work.  The example schema you recommended is "object/material/defect."  
Ex. Pole/Wood/Cracks or Insulator/Porcelain/Cracks or Crossarm/Wood/Cracks.  
However, there are other data I'd like to label.  "object/type", "object/material", "object/condition", "object/configuration."  Without a parent-child hierarchal relationship in the editor, would I have to create four labels of the same object to capture all this information? Does that result in 4 bounding boxes or polygons?
Or 
Would I have to create a unique combination list?  My fear is that could be too large to easily navigate.
object/type1/material1/condition1
object/type1/material1/condition2
object/type1/material2/condition1
object/type1/material2/condition2
....

Object/Conditions: Arrester/Healthy + Arrester/Broken + Arrester/Cracked _+ Arrester/Burnt + Arrester/Missing_Animal_Guard + Arrester/Isolator_Blown + Arrester/Misaligned + Arrester/Missing
Object/Type: Arrester/Distribution + Arrester/Riser Pole
Object/Material: Arrester/Porcelain + Arrester/Polymer

Last comment...These labels get even more complicated when you begin to add in information related to truncation or occlusion.
