Add Direct Import/Upload Functionality for Upload plan in the Workbench

[bhumikaguptaa]

Description:

Currently, to load a pre-existing data map from a .json file into the Workbench Data Mapper, a user must export the file, open it in a separate text editor (e.g., Notepad), manually copy the entire text contents, and then paste it into the Data Mapper's text field. This workflow is clunky, unintuitive, and prone to user error. Users may struggle with correctly selecting and copying all the text, especially ensuring brackets are not missed or duplicated, which can lead to validation errors.

Proposed Solution:

Add an "Upload Plan" or similar button directly within the Workbench interface. This button would open a file dialog box, allowing a user to select a .json file from their local machine. Upon selection, the software would parse the file and populate the Data Mapper field automatically.
