How to Bulk-Paste a List into a Dropdown Field

Tired of typing options one by one? In Wisepops, you don't need a special "Import" button to add a long list of items (like countries or states) to a dropdown menu.

The editor is designed to recognize line breaks. If you paste a list where each item is on a new line, Wisepops will automatically turn every line into a separate selectable choice.

The 30-Second Workflow

  1. Select your field: In the Wisepops editor, click on the Form block and then select your Dropdown or radio button field.

  2. Clear the Defaults: If there are already placeholder options (like "Option 1", "Option 2"), delete them so you have a clean slate.

  3. The "Magic" Paste: Copy the list of countries provided below, click into the first "Choice" slot, and Paste ($Ctrl+V$ or $Cmd+V$).

Thatโ€™s it! Wisepops will instantly populate the dropdown with the entire list.

๐Ÿ’ก Pro-Tips for a Better User Experience

  • The "Top Choice" Hack: If 90% of your customers are from the US or UK, paste that country at the very top of the list (above Afghanistan). This saves your most frequent visitors from having to scroll.

  • The Placeholder: Make sure the very first line of your list is a prompt like "Select your country...". If you don't, Wisepops will default the selection to "Afghanistan" for every visitor.

  • Clean the Tail: After pasting, check the very bottom of the list in the editor to make sure there isn't an extra empty choice caused by a trailing line break.
