RE: How to do a bulk update of an "Option Set" (Picklist) for custom field

Hi Erik

What I was trying to achieve was to update the Picklist values in bulk. We have a number of picklist fields with over 100 different values.

Thanks

Hi Steven,

I assume you are talking about assigning the option from the custom field?

If so..

If you have included the custom field in a data entity, you can open the specific data entity via the excel workbook designer (with the new field).

In my example, I have a radio button for maternity leave on the worker:

Via the add-in I can do a mass update:

This should work the same for the picklist.
