[SOLVED] Field List - Import was created by bins
I am creating a field with a list of options for members to choose - there are about 1000 options - how can I import this list?

You will appreciate that I would want to avoid typing them in one by one!

That is way too many options for a select element. I suggest using a text input instead and try to guide them to supply the correct answer or even validate it against a custom database table using CB Query Field and its Query Validation. If you still insist on having such a massive select then you can use CB Query Field and its Query Select fieldtype then just keep those options in your own separate database table.

Hiya,

I have used CB Query Field and the USA zipcode guide to get it going - all seems to work well - thanks.

This now leads to a separate question/new topic!
