I have more than 500 gLTF file. But when i try to import them plugin asks me for some settings. I want them all same but i have to click import for each one and its impossible. Is there any way for import all with just one click?

In 5.1 we change the import pipeline and I think you can drag and drop your 500 gltf files (you will end up with all files in same folder :-/).

In any way you might also want to investigate doing a python script that will trigger as many import as necessary. And thus you can automate the folder in which you want put files and tweak imports in a smarter way.

Here is a sample that parse all ies file in a folder and import them in a single folder in UE
you can tweak it a bit to look for gltf in a folder hierarchy and import each gltf into its individual folder in UE.

import unreal
import os
import glob
 
 
# Import additional ies files assets to tests other file types.
asset_path_to_change = os.path.join('C:/','IES_Types')
 
# Listing all .ies files in folder
# Folder where files are located
files = glob.glob(asset_path_to_change+os.sep+'*.ies')
 
# Create folder in UE
light_directory_name =  '/Game/add_ies_types'
destination_path = unreal.EditorAssetLibrary.make_directory(light_directory_name)
 
# Import all files
for f in files:
    uetask = unreal.AssetImportTask()
    uetask.filename = f
