There are API operations for this, so it could be set up as a batch process.
How to do that is a bit beyond my expertise. Typically, I’d give my IT team a spreadsheet with the required fields (usually topic ID and moderator ID - for permissions) and then they’d run a batched API call using a tool like Workato or something else.
Potentially you could ask support nicely and see if they’d do that for you. The API call might be easy on their end.

Oh, this sounds too nice. And easy. I dont have such developer team to use

Maybe if I promise to give some nice bottle of whisky, they will do it?
I’d go that route :)
If the answer is no from support and you don’t have a team to support you, you can do it via Zapier, it’ll just cost you 1000+ Zap runs.
- Trigger - New/updated row in Google Sheets (or equivalent for excel)
- Action - API call (a newly released Insided action that they haven’t announced yet -- details coming soon, I believe, but it’s available to use)
- Note: You don’t use the full URL here, you use everything after the core domain
- When you publish your Zap, select the “transfer existing data” option. It’ll run all 1000 rows as individual runs and effectively give you your batch process. Then you can turn the Zap off, or leave it on for future use cases when you need to convert (but it’s also pretty easy to do manual one-offs in control)
Awesome, @DannyPancratz awesome. Thanks a lot for the tip
