I want to add a select field to a custom post type that allows the user to select from any of the countries in the world. How can I add this without typing them in one by one?
Thank you!

When you say, list - what kind of list you have?
There is no such feature available but you can add user custom field as select and later you can use Types hook "wpt_field_options" to fill out the dropdown option for your county dropdown box dynamically.

function func_dynamic_populate( $options, $title, $type ){
global $wpdb;
switch( $title ){
case 'country-list':
$options = array();
// replace your table name iwth myTable
$result = $wpdb->get_results ( "SELECT * FROM myTable" );
$posts_array = $result
foreach ($posts_array as $post) {
$options[] = array(
'#value' => $post->ID,
'#title' => $post->country_name,
);
}
break;
}
return $options;
}
