Hi there, @michelvsouza… I’m not sure exactly what you are asking because you have highlighted the button that adds attributes to an option set, not actual options. That being said, if you are asking if you can add options to an option set by creating the options through workflows, the answer is no. So, if you need to be able to dynamically create new options in a set of options, you should use a custom data type instead of an option set.

Hope this helps.

Best…  
Mike

Hi @michelvsouza,  
No, you cannot dynamically manage (add, edit or delete through a workflow) an option set. If you need to execute such functionality, then you should create a data type instead.

Zoom out, a quicker way to add stuff to option sets is to upload them. This chrome extension is particularly helpful; [Bubble Option Sets Helper - Chrome Web Store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bubble-option-sets-helper/laeccjomidijmdhgojimnjdlbkflbkpm)

Cheers!
