2 Picklist questions

Hi wise people!

 

I have two questions regarding to picklists.

 

1.- Is there a maximum number of items under a picklist? for example, I want to add 800 SalesPoints. Of course, some point will be shown depending on the country selected (creating a dependence relation)

2.-  I there any possibility to use this picklist under 4 different objects? so, if i have to make some changes to a sales point (add or remove) i don't need to open each picklist under each object?

 

thanks in advance.

Pablo

I've never personally hit the limit, but this post seems to confirm my hunch of the 1000 elements size limit

And no, you cant share picklists across objects, not at this time anyways. So no Global Picklists. I reckon that's quite a popular idea on the Idea Exchange.

I don't know what to say... maybe... thanks!

 

Picklist max values will be enoght for me.

 

THe other idea, i noticed that it wasn't my idea, but, 16940 promote votes is good.

Do you know how many votes should have to be done?

 

thanks

Yes, we can not use same picklist under different object. There is no fixed criteria that how many vote a idea should get to get implemented.
