I’m having problems importing response templates in _Version: 0.20.2_. I have about 300 response templates in my `domain.yml` from an existing Rasa bot. I’ve been using the [HTTP API Domain](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa-x/api/rasa-x-http-api/#operation/updateDomain) endpoint to upload the templates with the PUT operation. I reported this as broken in issue [#4400](https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa/issues/4400) last week but there has been no response. This worked in prior releases. I’ve tried pasting my domain.yml into the Rasa X `Training > Domain` but the response templates are not added when I look at the `Training > Responses` page. Also, are there any plans to implement a `POST` and `PUT` of yml formatted responses in the `/template` endpoint as discussed in issue [#4185](https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa/issues/4185)? How can I upload the response templates in my existing domain.yml to Rasa X 0.20.2? ---

At the moment you can’t upload templates from a file. It is in our backlog to add it though! ---

@gausie, can you comment on the status [#4185](https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa/issues/4185). ---

It’s our intention to review all these irregularities in the API and have a fluent design which works as you would expect for all entity types, as well as more consistent naming etc. When we do that, this will be definitely included. I can’t really give you more detail than that because I just don’t know where it fits into our big to-do list! ---

Sorry, I mean’t to reference [#4400](https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa/issues/4400). I’ve been able to import templates using the API but it is not working in 0.20.2. Is there a Rasa API call I can use to put my response templates (bypassing Rasa X)? Can I directly put them in the Postgres DB? ---

AFAIK, the suggested way to import your templates is not through the domain endpoint, but the template replace endpoint: [PUT /templates](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa-x/api/rasa-x-http-api/#operation/replaceTemplates) ---

I’ve responded on the issue, thanks for poking me on it! ---

@erohmensing, frankly the API is not completely thought out well in my opinion. Certainly not from the perspective of someone trying to migrate from Rasa to Rasa X. Please note issue [#4185](https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa/issues/4185) - the `PUT /templates` call supports only a json format. It does not support the domain.yml format that is used for Rasa bots. The Rasa X UI should also have an import for templates in yml format. I’m sure this will all be addressed in time and I appreciate the quick release schedule from the Rasa X team but after upgrading to 0.20.2 I’m stuck. Will probably go back a release for now… ---

FYI, I went back to `0.20.1` and confirmed that the `PUT /api/domain?store_templates=true` call works in that release.
