Forms

We are in transition to v11 for Forms. So, I'm working in both a v10 (PROD)environment and v11 (DEV). I noticed that the dropdown function has changed and created a challenge for me getting a list of codes into a process.

Our list is 145 long and v11 requires a 1 by 1 entry (see attachment) whereas v10 would let us paste a long list in.

I'm a little bit stumped so wondering if you have any suggestions to keep me from a mass of data entry?

My suggestion, if it is an option, is to use a lookup table in SQL instead.

When you have a list that long, maintenance can be a lot more difficult so any time I have a list that gets beyond 20-30 items or may need to be reused, I put it in a database instead.

Then you just set the lookup without a rule so it will always pull all the values into the dropdown.

Looks like you are using the Modern designer in v11. If you use the classic designer it will be the familiar designer you use in v10.
