Add many options at once

If you have a long list of countries, products or class names, you don't have to type the options one by one. Paste the whole list into Bulk Import, one option per line.

  1. Hover over the choice question and click Edit. The options editor opens.
  2. Under Options, click Bulk Import. The Bulk Import Options dialog opens.
  3. Paste your list, one option on each line. You'll see how many options it found. Empty lines aren't counted.
  4. Click Import (N), where N is that number. Your options are added to the end of the list.

You can do this on any question that has an Options list: Checkboxes, Multiple Choice · Select One, Multi Select, Single Select (dropdown) and Ranking Input.

Before you import

Only a line break separates two options. Commas and tabs inside a line stay part of that option, and spaces at the start or end of a line are removed.

Duplicates aren't removed. If your list repeats an option, or repeats one you already have, you'll get it twice.

A new choice question starts with "Option 1", "Option 2" and "Option 3". Delete them first if you don't want them, because your list is added after them. It only replaces what's there when every existing option is blank.

If you score options, each imported option starts at 0 points. Response limits you've already set on other options aren't touched.

Use AI chat

You can also paste a list into AI chat and ask it to use the list as the options for a question.
