Import data from mysql dump into MySql Workbench

Question

I have an old MySql dump file (xyz.sql) that I want to import to a model in MySql Workbench.

I was able to do a Reverse Engineering of the file which created the schema and all the tables. Unfortunately it didn't import the data which is important.

So all tables are empty under the "Inserts" tab.

How can I import the data from the file into the tables or import the complete file schema + data in 1 step.

I use MySql Workbench 8.0.27

Thanks
