Copy and pasting list for a dropdown

Under Review

Does anyone have a way to past a list into dropdown fields. I want to make a list of colors for products but entering 1 by 1 seems crazy for 100 choices.

@Heber,


Something changed with Custom properties. When i made the above lists, I pasted the text from a excel file.


Now it's doing this:


It used to work like below:


Am I maybe missing something? does it still have that function and I'm pasting it wrong? I tried it W/ CRTL+V, Right click Paste, & Windows V.

This is the result of a copy and paste from word or excel

Yeah, It wasn't always that way. I may be wrong but, when I made my lists I don't remember pasting each one.

Hey Shawn, thanks for reporting. We'll look into this. I think the previous behavior was that if you manually added the options and then pasted, it would populate them.


We are planning to introduce dropdowns that pull options from lists, and this approach will be meant for higher-volume dropdowns where we will support copy/paste and import from Excel/CSV.
