    Dear All,

    I have following script which inserts a new choice column in all the libraries of a site.

    Get-SPWeb -site  http://sp2010:8080/personal/rakhishma    -Limit All | foreach {

    $doclibtype = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPBaseType]::DocumentLibrary

    $doclibs = $_.GetListsOfType($doclibtype)

    $doclibs.Count

    for ($i=0; $i -lt $doclibs.Count; $i++)
      
    {
             
     $doclib = $doclibs[$i]
              
    $doclib.Title
              
    $fieldtype = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldType]::Choice
    $doclib.Fields.Add(“Choice Column”,$fieldtype,$false)      
              
    $doclib.Update()
              
    $view = $doclib.Defaultview
              
    $view.viewFields.Add("Choice Column")
              
    $view.Update() 

    }  

    }

    Now, my question is how to insert choices like choice1, choice2 , choice3 into choice column using powershell...?

    $Choices.Add("choice3")

    $Choices.Add("choice4")

    $Choices.Add("choice5")
