    Hi,

    Is it possible to mass import options into a select field?
    I have about 100 options for this field and it will take a while to copy/paste 1 at a time?

    If not is there is an easy way to locate where it is stored in the database to insert directly?

    Any advice would be most appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Hello @lionschris

    I hope you’re doing well today!

    Currently it’s not possible yet but we do already have such option on our “to do list”, not only for “select” fields but also for other fields such as “checkbox” and “radio”. I don’t have an ETA but it should be added to the plugin in future.

    As for now, the way would be to go for custom development and create custom “importer” using plugin’s API (you’ll find API docs from “Forminator -> Integrations -> API” page in plugin).

    I wouldn’t recommend trying to add these options to the database directly though. It would be much more complex and not safe as entire form configuration – all its field, their options and form settings – are stored as post meta data in _postmeta table in a form of serialized array.

    Kind regards,
    Adam

    Hi Adam,

    Thanks for the update.

    Glad to know it’s on the “to do list”, it will be a very useful feature.

    I will give the API method a glance but may just do it manually once for the moment and clone the form when I need to use that field again (until the new feature is available)

    Thanks again for your help.
