A reference type enables you to map a column in an imported CSV file to a NetSuite field that can have one or more list values, such as a dropdown list or a multi-select. You specify reference types on the Import Assistant's Field Mapping page by clicking the pencil icon next to a mapped field that is a dropdown list or multi-select.
