Is it possible to export 'column drop down choices'

I’d like to export all of the drop down options from a couple of columns in a given board, not the choices chosen. Is this possible?

Thank you

Hello @brianwbates nice to meet you! I would like this as standard feature perhaps worth a post in the “Feature Requests” section I would vote for it! Especially tricky columns with lots of options. I’ve not too technical so have not done it as its not easy to do directly.

But it’s possible to export the dropdown options from specific columns in a board on Monday.com, though the platform doesn’t provide a direct, built-in way to do this. Here’s how you can achieve it:

You can use the Monday API (Advanced)

If you’re comfortable with API usage, you can query the board data, including column settings. Specifically:

  1. Use the Monday API to fetch the board data.
  2. Include the settings_str field in your API query for the relevant columns.
  3. Parse the settings_str JSON to extract the dropdown options.
    I’m not sure however if they have to all be in use to extract! If thats of any help let me know with a like!

I am brand spankin’ new so this might not be the place to ask this, but I can’t figure out how to create a new topic, so I’m hoping you can help. I am in the Grants Pipeline for CRM. We have seven different grant areas we want to apply for. I want to do a radio button to choose one. I tried doing a dropdown, but it entered ALL the choices into the field instead of the one I want to choose.

For example: let’s say we want to apply for Gen Op, Capital, and Prevention Services. I want those 3 options to show up in the field and I want to be able to select one. I don’t want to rely on typing it in because there could be so many variations and I need the answers to be all the same.

Does this make sense?

Hello @Jacq Welcome to our community!!

Here is how to create a new toptic. Navigate to Community and then click the purple button “+ Start a discussion”

Yes for the different grant areas I would set up a new “Status” column and type in the drop down / options you wnat users to be able to select.

Let me know if that helps by clicking like or if you need any additional guidance!
