Import select options

It would be great if we could choose during an import on select fields to be able to say ‘create options’ based on import. This way for example if you import product data, you don’t need to add the manufacturer by hand. I know of the trick of changing it to text and then back to select, but when updating data this is not really a nice way of doing it.

Noted! I’ll discuss this request with the team :slightly_smiling_face:

I second this.

Being able to convert a text field to a select field (and automatically adding those values as options) is great but it only works if there’s a few dozen options. If there’s more than that, it just stops adding the options and those values are erased from the column.

It would also be amazing to be able to convert a lookup column or link column with selections (either single or multi-selection) into a non-lookup/link column and keep the options and values selected.

or at least provide the ability to add options to a selection column via an API

Hey @britastic, thank you for your feedback. I’ll discuss it with the team :raised_hands:
