The standard way of adding a bunch of entries at once in Hobo is via
the input-many tag.

But that doesn't sound like what you want, since you want to use a
textarea.   It may not be the best way, but how I'd probably do it
would be through a virtual attribute on your model.   if you have a
BlackList that has_many :entries, you could do a "def batch_entries="
in your model that processes the textarea.
then:

<extend form for="BlackList">
   <field-list: fields="foo, bar, batch_entries">
      <batch-entries-view:>
        <textarea name="&param_name_for_this" value=""/>
