How to update a selection field in bulk

[Jovânio Junior]

Imagine that I have a select list field, with some options, but now I need to add more than 300 options to this field, how can I do this faster?

Hi @Jovânio Junior 

You can do that importing a CSV file. This article shows a step by step on how to do it, but for the custom field type 'Select List (multiple choices)'. If your field is single choice, the only difference is that you won't need a column for each option, you can just list them below each other (make sure not to leave the other columns empty for any of the lines with an option). I would also recommend using a new work item, because the import will cause several updates.

I hope I was able to help!

Kind regards,

Ana
