what is the use of 'Restrict picklist to values defined in the value set' checkbox?
In Custom Object picklists, we have an option to check/uncheck, 'Restrict picklist to values defined in the value set'. If I have this unchecked, the user should be able to add free text, but that is not the behavior I have seen, then what is the use of this setting?
Sorry for the late reply but I have my answer.
The checkbox only controls the behavior of the updates via the API. If the checkbox is unchecked, and if the free text added via the API update, then the free text value is added to the picklist as an inactive value.
For the UI, free text entry is not possible.
Thanks,
Dev
