Import data

[jacobsvante]

Issue #1178 was closed when the tablib exporting feature was added. Importing is still missing though as far as I'm aware. So I thought I'd open up this issue just to get people's ideas flowing. Might do something one day, but that day is not now.

What I'd personally like to see for the import feature is:

• Add rows
• Update existing rows
• Support CSV at least
• Support create/update of related data
• Run everything in one db transaction as default - all or nothing
• Humanly readable error output on failed import
• UI to select which fields and related fields to export as base template (which will then be used for importing after additions/alterations)

I just wanted to +1 that this is exactly what I have been Googling around for. I was excited when I saw issue #1178 in my search results but as @jmagnusson pointed out, it's for export only. A bulk create/edit from a CSV would be incredibly helpful.

I have a PR about this issue. Maybe we can support import data in flask-admin.
