Mass upload of options into a field of type dropdown in n8n form

Questions

Describe the problem/error/question

I’m new to n8n. I have created a n8n form with some questions. One question asks for the country. I used a question of type dropdown. Following the official UN list of countries there will be 245 options. Obviously I don’t want to type them in manually, one by one, so is there a way to mass upload that list of countries?

What is the error message (if any)?

Hey @ChristopherG hope all is good. Welcome to the community.

What you can do is you can create form node with two options, then export the workflow (or copy the node), paste it into your code editor of choice and add more. Then copy the result and paste back.

Here is an example of the result. You can use mine if it has all the coutries:

Thanks. At the end I edited the workflow in JSON after I prepared the list of countries also in JSON.
