I think it’s probably quite simple but I couldn’t find this information on the Guide or any other post at the community…

I have a long list of options to add to a single select field, how can I add it at once? Or do I have to do it one by one?..

If you make a table with the select field as a column, you can paste the list into the relevant cell of the first row. It should result in a load of new entities, one for each option. You can delete the entities and the options will remain.

Oh no, that’s not what I meant. It’s not about creating entities, but only configuring a Single Select field.

For example, inside the database Member I have a Single Select Field named Country, and I wanted to add a list of 20 countries:

United States  
Canada  
Brazil  
United Kingdom  
Germany  
France  
Italy  
Spain  
Russia  
China  
Japan  
South Korea  
India  
Australia  
New Zealand  
South Africa  
Egypt  
Mexico  
Argentina  
Nigeria

But if I just paste it, it will become one single option…

Is there a way to add several options without having to do it one by one?

As I wrote, try pasting into a **table view**. It will create an entity per item, but these entities can be deleted, leaving the newly created options intact

Hi!  
I’m not sure whether it will be relevant still, but we have World template that will sync all countries, cities and other details. So it may save some time and be fulfilled with necessary data already 🙂

Got it! I wasn’t understanding at the first time…

But it worked. I didn’t know that on the view I could create new options like that. Thanks!
