Don’t do it as choices. Create a new table and simly import your data into it, then use a List field so the user can select multiple options (and search for them too).

Hi there,
Wow 400, that sounds insane. Though maybe you do have a valid usecase for this ofcourse. Can you explain the why of such a huge number of choices for one specific variable? Asking because such a large number for one specific variable is usually a very bad practice.
Kind regards,
Mark
