Can't paste into single select column

Are you using our SaaS platform (Baserow.io) or self-hosting Baserow?

SaaS

What are the exact steps to reproduce this issue?

Create a single select, add values, try to paste information with those values per row. Nothing will happen. Even though anywhere else on the web this does work.

Hi @wilhanz, I’m not sure what issue you’re experiencing but this functionality works as expected for me: Grid - test | Baserow - 8 July 2025 | Loom

Can you share swome more details of what is happening in your case?

Hi, but you paste them one for one. I got a multiple rows I need to paste at once. So copy
Option 1
Option 2
Option 3

And then paste them at once.

Also works as expected. Grid - test | Baserow - 8 July 2025 | Loom

Are you receiving an error when you try? Perhaps there is an option you are copying to your clipboard that does not exist as an option in the single select options, this might cause an error.

Hmm, I’m copying the data from an excel, however the options have been created with the same data. I just checked and everything is correctly named. I’m not receiving an error, it just that nothing happens. Tried in Airtable and Google Spreadsheet select no problems at all.

If you paste the data in to a single line text field isntead does it work as expected? If so - you could then try copying it from there (within Baserow) and then paste it into the single select field.

I’m not sure why it wouldn’t be working directly.

Yeah that does work. But that is a very cumbersome way to do it :frowning:

If you share your file with me I can try and reproduce the issue so we can get it fixed or at least understand why this may be happening.

I’ve created an issue on GitLab for this case here: Batch processing from copy paste results in NULL values (#3733) · Issues · Baserow / baserow · GitLab
