Add a tab for the topics list on the bulk lister page?

Thomas Keesling

If I were uploading individual items, the topics list is a dropdown, but where on the site do we find that list for reference when using the bulk lister? Wouldn't it make sense to add it as tab along with the Categories tab? I realize the list is shown in the File Structure, but that's not a very convenient format to work with.

I Tom! I did some massaging of it earlier for my own use. You can copy this list below, and paste it into Excel. You should get two columns: First is the Bidstart code number (which my database was already based on), and second is the code that Hipstamp recognizes (that matches the BS Code number). You can then put this on another tab in your Excel sheet you use to build your bulk uploader files and limit the selections to this list, or whatever you need to do with it. Hope it helps for now.

Thanks, Doug! You're waaay ahead of me. This list was going to be my next challenge.

I've learned quite a bit about Excel over the years in dealing with my stamps, but there is so much I still don't know. But, I just now learned how to parse a column using the delimiter!

Also, I noticed your list is missing the BS # for HS cultural-heritages-black-heritage. It is 2153.

I appreciate your help!

Thanks Tom. It must have missed it!
