Let us import/export the list of enabled flags in Edge insider so we can apply it again to other builds or the same build after a reinstall.
alternative is to sync flags with our Microsoft account like passwords, favorites etc.

Hi @HotCakeX, we view flags as a very temporary way for us to experiment and control feature roll-outs. If you are dependent on a flag, either being enabled or disabled, filing feedback is a much better way. We can then look at either adding it as a fully supported feature, or as a setting that users can toggle on and off. Thanks - Elliot

SolutionSo i found a workaround for this, even though there hasn't still been added any functionality to the UI, it can be done using unconventional ways.
The file containing the state of flags is in the user directory.
for Edge Canary: "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge SxS\User Data\Local State"
for Edge Dev: "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge Dev\User Data\Local State"
for Edge Stable: "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Local State"
*replace USERNAME with your own Windows Username.
You can backup the "Local State" to keep your applied flags or keep the record of them.
you can use the file by copying it to multiple machines to apply the same flags to all of them. it can be done in organizations and push the same flags to all of computers.
I tried it myself on latest Edge Canary and Dev (version 81) and it worked.

@HotCakeX the copy paste for local state dont work in edge browser, even if you paste the files would revert back as soon as edge loads again
