How to import dropdown options manually or from a CSV file in the mobile app?

You can now import multiple dropdown options at once using either manual entry or a CSV file upload. This makes it easier to configure dropdown fields, especially when working with large set of values.

You can add multiple dropdown values using one of the following methods:

• Manual Entry – Enter multiple values at once using line breaks, commas, or semicolons.
• CSV File Upload – Import dropdown values directly from a CSV file.

Steps to import multiple dropdown options

1. Navigate to the Configure Fields page.
2. Add a Dropdown field to the document.
3. Tap the Settings icon for the Dropdown field you want to configure.
4. Open the Preferences tab.
5. Scroll down to the Dropdown Options section.

6. Tap Import.

The Import panel displays the following options:

• Type Values (default).
• Upload CSV.

Method 1: Import dropdown options manually

Use this option to add multiple dropdown values without creating a CSV file.

1. In the Type Values tab, enter your dropdown options in the text box.
2. Separate each value using any of the following:
   • Enter key (new line)
   • Comma (,)
   • Semicolon (;)
3. Once all values have been entered, tap Import to apply the changes.

Method 2: Import dropdown options using a CSV File

Use this option when importing a large number of dropdown values.

1. Switch to the Upload CSV tab.
2. To review the required file format, tap Download Sample CSV.

4. Tap Upload and select the CSV file from your device.
5. After the file is uploaded successfully, tap Import to add the dropdown values.

Additional import options

If the dropdown field already contains values, choose how the imported values should be handled:

• Add to Existing Values - Adds the imported values to the current dropdown options without affecting existing entries.
• Replace Existing Values - Removes all existing dropdown options and replaces them with the imported values.

With the new import functionality, you can efficiently manage dropdown options in bulk using manual entry or CSV upload. This helps save time and improves accuracy when working with large datasets.
