I need to add hundreds of options and I saw the only option is to add one by one.
How can I add hundreds as a bulk, similar to ACF.

Please let me know and thank you very much

Hi, there's not a built-in way to do this in wp-admin unfortunately. The only way to bulk-add options to a custom field is to export existing Types field data using Toolset > Export > Types, then modify it and reimport it. The export process will produce an XML document containing all the fields and their options. You must edit that XML document to include all the necessary options, then re-import the field data using Toolset > Import > Types.

If you'd like to see more bulk field option management, I encourage you to submit your idea over here: https://toolset.com/home/contact-us/suggest-a-new-feature-for-toolset/

This will put your request in front of key decision makers who decide the next features to implement for Toolset.
