[Improvement] Support importing environment variables via a .env file

[menakaj]

Currently, for the platform deployed agents, environment variables should be provided one-by-one.

Instead, we should allow uploading a .env file containing all the required environment variables and get those applied to the deployment.

Hi @menakaj ,

I have seen on many platforms that you can now copy and paste the full .env file (text copy and paste), and it will automatically add the variables and their values as inputs, allowing users to edit it before submitting. I think this is more effective. Additionally, in Runpod and Vercel, you can add environment variables, but they will be extracted and displayed before submission.

Option A is to paste to the import textarea or inputs

• Add a "Bulk Import" button that opens a modal/section with a textarea, or the user can just copy the .env and paste it into one text field, and it will automatically populate the rest.
• Click "Import" to parse and populate the editable key-value fields
• The user can then edit individual values before deploying

Option B is a File upload + parse

• Add "Import .env" button next to "Add."
• User selects a .env file from their system
• The file is parsed client-side and populates the editable fields

I think both should be there, but Option A should be the primary method. I also think that when a user clicks 'UPLOAD', the .env files wont be displayed in the Finder, as they are hidden. So need to enable "Show hidden files". Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Hi All @menakaj @a5anka @hanzjk @AnoshanJ ,

1. User Clicks Bulk Upload Button

2. User pastes the Environment Variables or uploads the file

3. Once clicked, import the Variables, and the values will be added to the environment component.

I have implemented this. Should I proceed with a PR?

Thank you.
