Great suggestion! Adding native import/export capabilities would make Data Tables much more usable for daily tasks. Upvoted!

I believe these features go hand-in-hand with better automation and data structure support. Since we are discussing Data Table improvements, I’ve just opened two related requests that would complement this perfectly:

  1. Public API support for Data Tables
    Why: This would allow programmatic access (CRUD) to tables. While file import is great for manual work, an API allows for automated backups, migrations, and syncing data from external scripts without opening the UI.

  2. Add JSON (Object) and Array data types
    Why: Currently, we are limited to flat types (String/Number/Boolean/Datetime). Adding native JSON support would eliminate the need to JSON.stringify complex objects or API responses before storing them.

It feels like Data Tables need this “bundle” of features (File IO + API + Complex Types) to become a truly powerful tool in n8n. If these sound useful for your use cases, I’d appreciate your support on them as well!
