This feature is available starting from version 2.3.0

Using this feature you can upload multiple items in List, Radio Group and Image List fields from a spreadsheet file without adding each item manually.

Upload your spreadsheet file

To upload your spreadsheet file in order to add items for input fields like List, Radio Group and Image List, you have to go the way you create a normal field. Inside the specified fields, the button Import from file let you upload the spreadsheet of the calculator in xls, xlsx or ods format.

The basic structure of the spreadsheet file

The structure of the file should be specified as below:
