DOORS to Excel and Import Back In

Users,

I have created a multi-valued attribute (32 different values) in DOORS as an enumerated list. I need to have several SMEs populate the attribute value for over 650+ requirements. These SMEs are not DOORS users so I am left with exporting to a spreadsheet and then impoarting back in to populate the values.

My question is, what is the best way in Excel to set up the cells so the users can select the multiple choices and then I can import those multiple values per object back into DOORS for an enumerated list?

Thanks in advance for any help.

You can make a drop down list in excel see: http://spreadsheets.about.com/od/datamanagementinexcel/qt/20071113_drpdwn.htm

You have to have the type and attribute set up in DOORS prior to importing the values.

Drop down lists are simple but they cannot be multi-valued can they? I thought they were single value restricted....
