Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Would you consider adding a workflow to automatise the import of data from external sources saved in Files (CSV/ODS/XLSX compatible) to the tables on some trigger (eg tag, time or whatever). Additionally, add the switch either to clean all data from a table before import, or preserve existing data or overwrite existing data, and optionally add the text to the description field.

Use case: I have to update a table with views from external files on a periodical base. Currently, I am uploading a well prepared spreadsheet file to a folder, go to tables app, select a table, clear all data from it, upload new data, add a text Updated: dd.mm.yyyyy. I would like to make this process automatic.
