Adding multiple items to select fields

This is one of those little things that can make life so much easier once you know it exists:

Some people will go “yeah, I use that all the time”, but I suspect quite a few others will have an “oh wow, I wish I knew that” moment.

Need a Select field with lots of options, and already have the list somewhere else?

Just copy and paste it directly into the field options.

It works in both classic and new record

Hi Jason,

thanks so much for highlighting this feature again :blue_heart:

It’s one of those hidden gems that can be especially valuable for power users like you.

By the way, have you also tried using Shift + Click to multi-select individual options? You can also use Ctrl + A to select all options at once, change their colors, or delete them in bulk.

Maybe you already know this, but I thought I’d mention it as a nice addition.

Have a great weekend!

I remember the first time I accidentally found this out.

I was so excited for future me, and also bummed out because I had already spent hours building category fields manually.

This is a great share for people who are tooling around the forum, looking to see what’s possible.
