Level Import: Random ISO Code

[lastnameclick]

I'm trying to batch import levels into my instance, while I don't have an ISO code for each one, is there a way to randomly assign an ISO code to each level like the Admin Interface allows (Selecting Auto in the drop down)?

I've been wondering this myself. It would really save a LOT of time.

Can you please explain the process you are using to batch import the levels?

Assuming you are creating a JSON file for importation with the Import Levels feature inside of the Admin Control pane, you are correct in that there is no method (currently) to random select a country.

However, this would be an easy update. Within the liveimport script we utilize the following:

        $countries = await Country::genAllAvailableCountries();
        $new_country = $countries[array_rand($countries)];

This provides a random, unused, country. This functionality could be moved into the Country class, and the importAll method within the Level class could be updated to provide a random country when one is not provided or the value is set to 'Auto'.

Feel free to provide a PR with this enhancement, or we can certainly add it to the roadmap.

Your PR looked great with one minor nit. Take a look at the comment on the PR itself. You will also need to resubmit the PR against the dev branch.
