We weren't really thinking about that use case of the import button, but it makes sense. A quick solution would be to let you pick the status during the import. On GitHub, when you push a new branch, it's automatically detected and it prompts you to create a Pull Request for it. We want to eventually do something similar in GrowthBook where we detect new experiment ids automatically and surface them to you.

yeah, i'm seeing in the import json that there is a following setting

"implementation": "code",
  "status": "stopped",

is it true that if that was switched to something like "running" it would work like an experiment that is launched via the SDK?

Yes, I think that should do it.

this is awesome, we're going to try it asap
