There is a recurrent problem with adding large option lists to iformbuilder- comes up with "key-values not unique" even when using the method to add unique numbers as key values. I have made many attempts on multiple browsers and OS' using all the recommended methods with no avail. It would be better if either this is improved or a new method introduced such as uploading a csv file.

  Hi Shawn, the most effective way to deal with larger option lists is by using the APIs available for creating and updating option lists.

  Hope that helps!

  That is a ridiculous option. The reason we use this tool is so we don't have to code. Your response to something so simple is to break out a sledge hammer. It seems to me that if other tools can do this easily why can't iFormBuilder?

  Hey Micah, thanks for your feedback and I completely agree with you. If you check out the new form builder we introduced last year it offers the ability to upload a CSV file to create options in a list. You can read more about how to do this from the article below.
