Description

When you have an existing list of items (sent to you, or copied from a meetings minutes etc.) and want to add them, it would be great if you could paste them into a card and if the pasted content contains new line markers you got an option to have each new line created as new cards.

Related: if the pasted content contains new lines, the alternative to a new cards would be first line as card title and rest added into the description field (on the basis that new lines don't make sense in a title and aren't supported anyway)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the paste flow in the card creation interface and inspect how pasted text is currently handled. Define the behavior for multiline content: offer creating one card per line, or use the first line as the title and the remaining lines as the description. Done means both choices work consistently when pasted content contains new lines.
