We are adding a custom field of the type "checkboxes" for a list of countries. So as you can imagine, it would take a long time to add each country via the point and click interface.

Is there's a quick way we can import our countries list?

If not, would it be safe to do something like:
1. Create the countries checkboxes field and add one country to it
2. Edit the serialized "wpcf-fields" data in "wp_options" to add all the rest of the countries
