    Hi All,

     

    I have created a custom attribute for Country list. This is a picklist.

    Is there any way i can import the list of countries for the values of this attribute rather than manually entering them.

     

    There are gonna be other custom fields (picklist) which have like 100's of values for which we might need to do the import.

     

    Thanks !

    Hi,

    Yes, you can do it. Basically you need to generate to XML for the picklist and then add it to the customization of the entity manually. This is simple process but it will save a good part of your time.

    Thanks Umar. It served the purpose for me.

     

    Just out of curiousity, is there any way i can import the values directly to the picklist field, rather than modifing the customiztion file and importing it back.

     

    Thanks again!

    Customization file is the way. You may edit the file and publish it through programming using CRM SDK but you need to do it.
