Multi-Value Paste Filter for Table

Currently, IBM Apptio does not allow users to paste a list of values (such as IDs, Names, Project Codes, Cost Center IDs, or other fields) directly into a table filter in a single action.

A highly valuable enhancement would be the ability to copy a list of values from Excel, notepad, or other sources and paste them directly into a filter field. Apptio would then automatically interpret the pasted values (separated by commas, semicolons, line breaks, tabs, etc.) and apply them as a multi-value filter.

This functionality is standard in many business productivity tools and is one of the most frequently used features in Excel and other data analysis platforms.
