''Item No'' (the dropdown menu that has 200 Products/items), ''Description'', and ''Unit Cost Script

Report · Feb 24, 2024

Please check my attachment. My 1st field name ''items no.'' has almost 200 items this field should be a dropdown menu. Please give me a simple method where I can add easily 200 items to the dropdown menu. 2nd field name is the ''description'' and 3rd field name is ''Unit Cost''. Every item is related to the description and unit cost. Another field name is ''Quantity'' and ''Total Cost'' but these 2 columns are not necessarily scripts. I need ''Item No'' (the dropdown menu that has 200 Products/items), ''Description'', and ''Unit Cost'' scripts. Please help me. Thanks

This requires using custom-made scripts. I've developed (paid-for) tools that do exactly that.

The first task can be achieved using this tool, which allows you to import an entire list from a text file into a drop-down:

The second task can be achieved using this other tool, which allows you to set up filling in the other fields based on the selection in the drop-down, based on a spreadsheet with the full data:
