I'm just started using Dataverse, and I'm confused about creating Choices (Option Sets). The way Choices are created is pretty simple, as long as it is a very small set of options. As far as I know each option needs to be created one by one. Is there a way to create large set of options quickly? For example, I just created a US States Choice, and I had to enter all 50 states labels and values manually. In SharePoint this is done very easily. Now I need to create another choice for Field Crops, that's a 150+ list. Any trick or way I'm missing?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @emfuentes27,

I would suggest using the Attributes Factory for the XrmToolBox. You can generate the Excel template and fill it with your choice column and its options, then load it into the tool and it will create the column(s) in Dataverse.

Hi @emfuentes27,

The good thing about XrmToolbox is you don't have to formally install anything. You just need to download it, and then "installing" any plugins just downloads them to the directory where XrmToolBox is setup (by default in your user profile).
