fresher@sales standard picklist values
Hi i am new to VWF.
How can we display picklist values on screen input fields using dropdown list. I don't want to add them in flow instead i want to retrieve and display from object directly?
for ex:
i have 2 fields Account Name and Account Type.
when user reach this screen he should enter name and select a picklist value from type. and these values should come automatically from Standard Account Type.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
native support for choices to be based on existing Picklist definitions is something we want to support and is on the roadmap. However, take a look at my github site (https://github.com/raja-sfdc/FlowPicklistSync) for a solution which makes flow use your existing picklist definitions within flow. There are other samples there for useful features/functions.
Hope this helps.

So if I understand correctly, I believe you can only do 1 of these fields.
(All following discussion assumes using the Cloud Flow Designer, not the Desktop Flow Designer.)
When creating a picklist, you have the option of setting up a Dynamic Choice. A Dynamic Choice can look at all of the records in a given object, with optional filters, and present one field of each record as options in that picklist. So you could define a Dynamic Choice looking at Account Name for all Accounts (or Accounts that match a specific criteria, if you prefer). Keep in mind that you have a limit of 200 for any Dynamic Choice.
See page 39 of this document for assistance on how to set up a Dynamic Choice:

As for Account Type, I am guessing that you are using the core field 'Type' on the Account object, a picklist. To my knowledge, there is no way for Visual Workflow currently to pull a list of the current picklist options from a given picklist field and present those options dynamically. Dynamic Choice is only designed for looking at all the values of multiple records, not the picklist values in a single field. If anyone else knows of a method for this though, please correct me! I'd be happy to know of any alternatives.
