Currently I have an indexed list of serial numbers 1-100.
In my Jira software project, I want to create a dropdown list as a field in one of my issue types that lets me select any of the values between 1 and 100 incremented by 1.
Currently it appears I can only add one option at a time and manually add each entry to each option. I want to add two serial number fields and it seems quite repetitive to have to do this manually 200 times.
Hi @Christopher Brown ,
Another creative way to automate your process could be achieved by using the "External Data for Jira Fields" app, specifically with the Field Options Sync feature. Here's a simplified step-by-step guide:
It's worth noting that you don't need to keep the app installed in case this is a one time operation. I should mention that I am collaborating with the vendor of the app I recommended.
I hope this is helpful.
Regards,
Thomas
Hello @Christopher Brown
Before addressing the creation of those option values...
It looks like you might be working with a Team Managed project. Is that correct? If so, in Team Managed projects a Dropdown custom field is limited to 55 entries. So, in such a project you cannot create 100 entries for a dropdown with any method. There is a change request about increasing the limit.

As to adding multiple option values in a more efficient way you might accomplish that by using the REST API.
It might also be possible to add the options by importing issues from a CSV file where each issue in the file has one of the values. I haven't tried that for quite some time, so I'm not sure if that still works.
