Same issue here
I tried both options

• copy as cURL (windows)
• copy as cURL (POSIX)

with these features not working it's kinda annoying to manually input all data in it (which doesn't make sense)
please try to give this bug top priority

@rogiermulders @arfathyahiya you should still be able to import from Curl by using the new request dropdown From Curl option:

Why was this functionality removed? It was very good and intuitive.

Thanks I didn't knew that and shifted to postman for time being.

But nothing beats the simple paste option working. I hope they add it back.

[Patamen]

If this is not a bug - please, return CURL paste feature

[filfreire]

changing this to feature request

the feature was removed due to #6290 and fix #6295

[diasgab]

After the last update the paste from curl is not working (not even using the option from the menu); the sorting of endpoints changed on itself; the search filter bar doesn't work as expected :( .The previous version was working perfectly but there were many bugs introduced in the new one.

I downgraded to Insomnia 2023.4.0 which solved the issue of CURL not importing.

https://github.com/Kong/insomnia/releases/tag/core%402023.4.0

Love Insomnia, and quite disappointed at the removal of this excellent feature.

[cozzbp]

This feature is literally the only reason I use Insomnia, anyone got a good alternative?

[sunspinx]

I agree, it's kinda frustrating now. I'm switching to Postman temporarily or downgrading the version because it simply ruined your learnt behaviour. Take the CURL from network/bug and everything got prefilled. Now u must click on new request which makes you to do more steps and not intuitive at all.

[filfreire]

Re-adding the feature in an upcoming patch release with this PR #6384

[arfathyahiya]

@filfreire
Before release can you please also make sure about rename functionality?
Currently I've to use dropdown menu to rename the request name

Previously it was as simple as double clicking

Thank you for your hard work :)

EDIT

The GET and POST requests in color was good and easy to identify

I fully agree with this just as my colleagues at work. None of them liked removing the colors, renaming and the curl into url bar not working. Those last changes were kinda bad and I'm curious what was the reason of removing it.

[rogiermulders]

Hi,
To start with: Thank you for re-adding the past as curl option.

What I find annoying now is that it creates 'New Request' every time I past a Curl call.
Before that did not happen.

Also I can not remove Requests as bulk (or I do not know how) so I end up with a bunch of requests that I have to remove one by one.

PS Don't know if this is a feature request or I can write it here.

Please consider the above issue, also pressing DELETE key doesn't delete the request now, have to go through a few clicks to delete it.

Thanks for the tool :)
