Alert scope in bulk - CSV

Is there a way to define alert scope using a CSV/Excel/text file?

I have a bunch of nodes I would like to use in the alert definition, in the scope section, but adding each iteam one by one, thats really a time taking process.

I wish if there is a way to define it in bulk for example an alert scope section could look like this

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Node Name -- Starts with -- <list of nodes in CSV/attach CSV file>

Node Name -- equals -- <list of nodes in CSV/attach CSV file>

Node Name -- equals -- <single mentioned node name>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

is there any workaround someone could suggest for this scenario

Start using Custom properties in SolarWinds

Custom properties in the SolarWinds Platform

Define custom properties on node or interface (based on your requirement), you can update values for custom properties in bulk as required.

Based on this you can design your alerts to check against the value of custom properties (rather than changing your alerting scope everytime validate it against custom property values).

I already thought of that, but the scope of this specific alert can keep on changing and is only specific for a testing team.
Will need to look for a way to statically define the nodes
