# Description

Current the Submit Trait feature only allows for trait data (submitted as just a string of values) to be saved as a "temp" trait (that is saved in Redis for a limited period of time).

There are two main changes/additions that should be made to this:
- Allow data to be submitted via a CSV upload
- Allow data to be saved to the DB via an "Add" (or maybe "Save") button on the trait page after submitting it
