Deploy Global Picklist (Winter 16') from Sandbox to Production?

Is it possible to create a global picklist in a dev sandbox then deploy to production through a change set?  

If so, what is the component type of a global picklist?

Thanks

Hi Jack,

I think that you can't deploy them yet to prod because it's still a pilot, you can get more info in this link[1]

In the Summer '16 Release Notes - New Change Set Components (https://releasenotes.docs.salesforce.com/en-us/summer16/release-notes/rn_deployment_change_sets.htm)

The components available for a change set vary by edition. The following components are now available for change sets.
Global Picklist
Represents the metadata for a global picklist: the set of shared picklist values that custom picklist fields can use.

Hi Daniel,

We tried to use the global picklist change set from full sandox to a new developer sandbox. We got an error that is not allowed in change set. Are you familiar with this functionality.

Please advice.

Thanks,
Ella

Hi Ella,

Are both sandboxes on Summer '16?

I got the same "Global picklists are not allowed in change sets." message when moving a change set from a Summer'16 to Spring'16 org.

Both orgs will need to be on Summer '16 for the change set to include global picklists.

There is a component type call Global Value Set.
