Environment variables

### Question

Is there any other way to edit environment variables in a batch instead of manually enter the overrides through Settings > Environment Variables via AWS Amplify Console?
I am asking this is because we found whenever we toggle on/off the CI/CD for backend environment pointing, the already set-up environment variables are completely cleared out. After repeating the manual process which in our case, we have around 10 branches for 20 environment variables. To have a feature like edit the environment variables in a YML file would be extremely helpful.

Research direction

Start by reviewing FAQ.md and the AWS Amplify Console Settings > Environment Variables workflow described in the issue. Investigate how environment variables are handled when CI/CD backend environment pointing is toggled and whether a YAML-based or other batch-edit entry point exists. Done means defining and validating a supported way to update variables across the reported branches without losing existing values.
