Multiple Category Creation

When creating an app is it possible to upload multiple categories at once? I am wanting to create a dropdown list of countries and it seems these can only be entered one at a time (so by typing in 200 +/- countries). Entering items with a space, quote, comma or semi-colon all get added as one category.

  Hey Keith,

  For this specific use-case I would consider using the Tags instead (this is what we do internally in Podio)? Or as alternative have another app for all countries and use the app reference to choose a country from a drop-down list.

  Categories become unworkable after about 20 category values. Much better to create a countries app for the 200 countries and then attach them to other apps with a relationship field. This is much easier for maintenance.

  We followed Mike's line of thinking. Only downside was another app added to the list, no biggie. Not sure how the 'tag' solution would work...
