    @Samixite ,

    I don't know how familiar you are with PowerAutomate. But you can simply do it with something like this:

    where the first action read the excel table where you have the values.

    Then you'll iterate through all items and with Invoke an HTTP request you can insert values as choice values. 

     Find dynamics your env link in make.powerapps.com / session details / instance URL.

    I have all the countries listed in an Excel worksheet column and would like to import them in "Country Choice".

     

    Thanks again 🙏

    Hi @Samixite,

     

    I would normally recommend using a Table for Countries since it's such a large list and there are other advantages of using lookups.

     

    But if you're set on using a Choice, then I would recommend using the XrmToolBox and the CreateOptionSetsFromCSV tool. It is meant exactly for the purpose for creating global or local Choice (option set) columns with a lot of choices (options).
