Adding new drop down box field with lots of data

13 years 3 months ago #152200 by lmartinLMV
Is there any possibility to create a new drop-down box field that I can populate with external data such as CVS or XML?

I need a field of this type with more than 100 options to choose from. The only way I've seen in the backend is to create one by one, which would be insane!

Any help appreciated!

The only way I could do this was by populating the table jos_comprofiler_fieldvalues from phpMyAdmin, importing a CSV file I created from Excel, with the same fields this table has, taking into account the same fieldid. It's not the best way but it worked.

It would be great if you could do this directly from the GUI of Community Builder in the backend of Joomla.

Meanwhile I hope this helps other people with the same problem.
