According to this page, it is not possible to import/export iLogic rules and forms into an existing component. Has this been remedied yet?

You can copy and paste when editing the rule and copying all of the rules test but not the rule itself

The programming language usually always improves with time, new functions are always added to the rules. If the rules have tendencies to be reused, the best way to achieve this is to use them as external rules, otherwise there would be the risk of having duplicate and outdated rules in the files, and updating them would be complicated. If a rule is specific to a particular file, it can not be reused, because it refers to this single file, and it would have to be modified to adapt it to another file.
As a recommendation I would tell you to get used to the use of external rules, avoiding copy and paste rules in multiple files. regards

I am attaching my Upwork profile for specific queries.

Look into the iLogic Code Injector.  It's a few years old, but it's still working fine for me.

The Code Injector would do exactly what I need, if I wanted to apply a bunch of rules to a batch of files. Thankfully I only need to copy to one file. 

 

It seems archaic to think that in 2019 there is no way to export code without mechanically copy/paste.
