Yes I was afraid that was the only way. I hoped you had come up with some super sneaky creative work around :)

I think it would be a pretty easy excel import to create the 50 records.

Well, my example was with states, but my use case has about 300 records that would need to be created. Of course, not too hard to make the 300 records so it is possible, but then I would also need a pipeline to create the other record when new records are created.

All of it is not too bad of a solution, but the necessity is minimal and probably doesn't warrant it. I'll add it to the 'maybe ill do this later' list.
