How to share or automatically import QA checker settings?

Question

Hello! 
 QA checker is very useful tool, and every time I catch such an error in translator that might seem to be repeating, I create a regexp rule for QA checker. 
 I have project templates for all the clients (and several base templates, too) which makes the template count around 40, and the number steadily grows. 
 How can I make use of my latest QA checker profile in all the applicable template? 
 I found exporting and importing impossibly tedious for such a number of templates; also it's error prone (the latest version may get accidentally ignored or even overwritten, which is painful, as writing complicated regexps take time and testing). 
 I would appreciate any ideas how to automate the sharing of QA checker settings. 
 Kind regards 
 Jussi

Hi Jussi Rosti , 
 
It is tedious indeed. I think the only way to address this effectively at the moment is through the API. It probably wouldn't be too difficult to create a small plugin that supported the ability to update multiple templates with specific rules or settings. We do have an item of work on the backlog for our appstore team that could do something like this, but we aren't going to get to this very soon because of other more pressing requirements. 
 
Any developer could do this using the APIs... so perhaps you'll get lucky if someone reads this and also thinks it's a good idea.
