Is it possible to update the values of a custom field in bulk?

Question

Hello, I need help with a JIRA feature, I would like to know if it is possible to import several values ​​from a custom field in bulk, for example, I need to update several school names in the "Schools" field and I would like to do this in bulk, is it possible? I thank you for your attention!

@Lucas Darlim Rodrigues Silva , Got it!

To update existing values, import CSV will not really work. It only works to create new values ​​in bulk.

If you want to update multiple values ​​in series, you might want to use the Jira API to operate this along with your CSV support. However, this will require a little knowledge about the API. The format to be used would be this: The Jira Cloud platform REST API (atlassian.com)

CSV Import didn't work to update existing values in select fields, just to create new values.

The custom field I'm editing is of the select list type (single choice), which has several names of registered schools, basically, I need to add a satisfaction classifier from A to D at the end of each name, for example, Test School A, but as there are many names, I'm looking for a way to import all the names already with the classified ones and replace the old names, You can?

@Lucas Darlim Rodrigues Silva ,

This process only works to add new values in a select choice field. The current values will not be affected.

Regarding your error, could you share some details like:
