Renaming Custom Field List values clears data

[ad_1]

When adding options to a select/checkbox/multiselect etc. custom field, it must be done through a list of comma separated values.

However…every time I need to update the labels on these, doing so removes all data associated with that field, ie. all listings that had that value checked, no longer does.

I assume this is expected behavior for a list of values, since the system recognizes it as a completely new value when changed…but man what a headache if every time I need to update a value, I have to manually select that again for all listings who had it before?

Surely there’s a way around this or a better way?
If not, is that something that can be included int he future? The separated list thing is kind of a headache to manage…

Thanks!
