I have configured the CF to be filled from a dropdown list ("Select one value") and defined a range of categories to select from. Applying a bulk update to assets where I've selected, for example, setting the CF to "PC" (or any of the other options I've defined) fails with the following message displayed in the web browser:

We have a fix for this in the upcoming releases of RT; in the meantime you can apply the patch to your RT instance:
