How to Export Dropdown Fields and Their Options from Dynamics 365 CRM to CSV?

Hi everyone,
 
I’ve been trying to export dropdown fields (Option Sets or Choices) and their available options from Dynamics 365 CRM into a CSV, but I haven’t had any luck with the methods I’ve tried so far.
 
Here’s what I’ve tried:
  • Advanced Find: I was able to export records with selected dropdown values, but this doesn’t give me the full list of all available dropdown options.
  • XrmToolBox: I attempted to use XrmToolBox for this, but I’ve been facing login issues, and I’m not sure if I’m on the right track with this tool.
Has anyone successfully exported all dropdown options from CRM to a CSV file? If so, could you share the steps or any tools you’ve used that worked for this?
I’d really appreciate any guidance or alternative approaches to solve this!
Thanks in advance!

    Use the tool named MetadataBrowser in XRMToolBox. This will extract the metadata for all attributes from all entities and the optionset type fields will show the list of possible values.
     
     
    Or you can use WebAPI query like following example for Account entity
