Updating picklist values

Hello,

How do you update, delete or insert picklist values?

We are writing an application that lets users update our organization data including picklist values. I noticed there is no 'update', 'delete' or 'insert' method associated with picklists. So I'm not sure what is the best way to do this.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi tsalman,

As of today, picklists are not updatable via the api.

Is there anyway to insert/delete picklist values through some other process.

Here is the problem, we have a picklist of the same 50-75 values on 6 different pages (account, contact, activity, etc.) These values could change weekly is there anyway we can have a "master" picklist that all 6 picklists inherit from this "master" picklist.

Hi tsalman,

Hmm..., I reckon at this point it's best to contact customer support to see if there is a best practice around this issue.

How about now?...

Is it now possible to update Picklist Values from the API?

- thanx
