Picklist values

I have created a custom field with field type "multi select picklist ". Post creation , i have updated some 200 picklist values using edit picklist. Now the users dont want a multi select picklist - & since field type cannot be modified once created, is there a way to copy all these 200 picklist values into a new field that I will create with field type "picklist" ?

Hi,
There's no possibility to copy / paste values like these in another field.
But there's a way for you to save your time : the import tool. You can use it to populate a picklist value by checking the option before the import. I did it on the Activity object and now my picklist contains all the value I need. And no need to save one by one these values !
You'll need to have an import file containing for each row a value you need in your picklist. And you'll have to add an ID (ExternalUniqueId) and all the required fields of the object you'll import. After the import, you'll only need to delete the records created and here you can use the mass delete functionality.
Hope this will help, feel free to ask more !

Picklist ID appearing in reports, instead of Picklist Value

I have changed a Picklist Value for a Product Sales Stage field setup by one word so that the original "Bought" remains in the Picklist Id and the Picklist Value was changed to replace Bought with "Quoted".
When I run a report on the the Product Sales Stage, the field in the Report displays with the original "Bought", even though the field on the Product Revenue page contains "Quoted".
Can anyone advise on overcoming this so that the report also displays this field with Quoted in the wording, as per the record?
Robyn

Robyn,
I think reporting uses the ID so you can either disable it and create a new value or write a CASE WHEN statement:
CASE WHEN "FieldName" = 'Brought' THEN 'Quoted' ELSE "FieldName" END

ELSE.

ENDIF.
In the code above, lr_current is bound but lv_excl_group_ui returns no value. Without this value, the code beyond cannot return any picklist values ( lt_ddlb ).
I have checked the config and indeed the exclusion group has BP roles assigned to it.
How can i fix this issue?
Thanks a lot,
JD

Thanks Arun,
When trying to create a new BP, the code needs the value of lv_excl_group to be passed to
   CALL METHOD cl_crm_uiu_bp_cust_get=>get_val_for_stage
for fetching lt_ddlb.
Sorry for the confusion.
IF lr_window->gv_account_was_saved IS INITIAL
        OR ( gr_ddlb_rltitl_note IS NOT BOUND
       AND NOT lr_window->gv_account_was_saved IS INITIAL ).
*   indication of following navigational steps, which need
*   to be handled separately:
*   create Account -> enter stage -> back to OV -> edit page
    IF gr_ddlb_rltitl_note IS NOT BOUND
       AND NOT lr_window->gv_account_was_saved IS INITIAL.
      IF lv_excl_group IS INITIAL
        AND NOT lv_stage IS INITIAL.
        lv_xall_stages = 'X'.                               "#EC NOTEXT

Troubleshooting an 'Invalid picklist value'

Hello All,
I'd appreciate if someone can help me resolve this (I don't have the documentation to lookup the error codes and their meanings).
I am getting the following strack trace trying to send a Lead. It's hard to say which field this is in reference to.
[exec] 16:13:02,121 ERROR [STDERR] AxisFault
[exec] faultCode: {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server
[exec] faultSubcode:
[exec] faultString: Method 'SetFieldValue' of business component 'Lead' (in
tegration component 'Lead') returned the following error:
[exec] "Invalid multi-select picklist value in bus comp 'Lead', field '
ZMSPick_2'.(SBL-ODS-50637)"(SBL-EAI-04376)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Best,
James

Hi James,
To find out which field "ZMSPick_2", you could try going to the Lead field setup page, open the HTML source of the page, and search for "ZMSPick_2". I haven't tried it with multi-select picklists, but I know that it works for plain picklists.
Regards,
Alex.

Read picklist values in narrative reports

hi
In narrative report i'm using one picklist field and one currency field.
Reports i created is dynamic report and it works fine for different SR.
the report should hold the value chosen in picklist.Unfortunately it always populates the same value i.e value chosen first(i.e not updating proprely whenever i edit the picklist )
i.e picklist value remains static always doesn't change on user selection in reports
How to solve this.

I have this same question. I note that the Custom Object uses, for instance, 03_09 to refer to the 9th item on the picklist for Custom Object 3 instead of the actual name of the field. This causes problems when items get added/removed to the picklist and the field becomes, say, 03_08. Do I have to edit the report every time the picklist changes?

Picklist Values - a question.

Hi,
We got a list of values from business to be entered in a Picklist field. Later our business changed their mind and gave us a different list.
1) Is there is a way to delete the unwanted picklist values? It appears to me that the only option is to disable those values that are not needed anymore, is that correct?
2) If I overwrite a picklist value by entering new values in the "Edit Picklist" window, it doesn't overwrite the "Id" field. Will this have any adverse impacts if we just overwrite the existing picklist values as it doesnt change the old values in the Id field?
Appreciate your inputs.
Thanks,
Sriram

Bhavin, I do not have sample java code to send you. If you go to the Admin side of On Demand and then click on Web Services Administration you will see a button called "Download Documentation". This document shows sample code written in both C# and Java.

Querying for custom picklist values

Hello all,
I have created a new field on my opportunity type called "Industry" and gave it picklist values. However, the system is not allowing me to query for the values using the Picklist web service. Am I missing a step here, or does the system not allow querying for custom picklist field values? I can get to certain lists of picklist values for Opportunity (Type, Probability, some others) but not the picklist I created. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!
-Kevin Green

Hi,
Find integration tag for custom field in Field Setup. When you call getPicklist method, pass three values like Object type(ex: Lead), integratin tag for the custom field, "" ( this is language, this field is no need for English languague)
Hope this willl work

Status Field Picklist Values

It appears that the status field on the Service Request and Activity seems to be of PickList (Read-Only) and hence I am not able to add any other values. We are basically looking at adding one more value "Cancelled" to the Tasks/Appointments in the Status field. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Sriram

Hi sriram,
IN service request, "Calcelled" value is available by default and to provide this value in task / Appointment in Status field i suggest you to use one workaround. rename existing status field to "Status Old" and create new Pick list field and name it "Status" and add picklist values which you require and finally replace the old field with newly created status pick list field in appointment layout.
for any other thing pls write back.
Cheers

How to add new picklist value to states and countries to Address object

Hi,
I like to query and update picklists, state and country, in the address. What're the record type and filed name for them?
I tried record type, Address and field name, State and Country, with no luck.
Thanks

Hi,
As far as I know you cannot modify the address object at this point of time.
If you want to add values or modify the picklists for State & Country, you would need to use custom fields and add all required values and then use those fields. (You can remove the Addres Object completely from the layout and then substitue it with the custom picklists that you have designed - possibly cascading picklists with Country as parent and State as child )
Hope it helps.

Regarding changes in picklist values

My requirement is like below:
Client Requirement(Custom picklist (status))------- Lead status filed (Seeded Picklist(Lead Status))
Open ----- Converted
Contacted--------------------------------------------------------- Qualyfying
Qualified------------------------------------------------------------- qualified
Closed--------------------------------------------------------------- Archived
Not approved------------------------------------------------------ rejected
There is no possibility to change the value of Seeded picklist, because it is a read only one, so that i created one custom picklist as per the client requirement and when the field value changes in the client picklist it automaticaly captured the seeded picklist(because of the mapping & conversion of leads is mapped with seeded one only). So my understanding is i created custom one when the workflow triggers on the custom there is not much effect on the Mapping conversion of the lead status if at all i mapped like in the same way. Could you please suggest the solution on this.

Sorry,
Could you give me some more solutions to the query.I dint understand your answer.Not really. Have you looked at TreeSet? Have you though about creating your own class that has both a set and an list? Obviously not! Until you have it is a waste of time me responding.

Regarding picklist values

Hello all,
Its have a nice discussion over phone, I have some urgent requirement in OCOD. I need to change the Lead Status to Custom values as per the client requirement, but Lead status itself is a Seededpicklist, we cannot do any modifications on that(I guess so?). So I have create 1 custom picklist with the Client requirement, when I trying to trigger an event by using workflow it throws an error meesgae.
For Ex: Client requirement for the Status field is “Open”( Please find it in Custom picklist in Lead Entity(Status1) as in Seeded picklist is Qualyfying
When I tried to write an event on this like “IIf( FieldValue(Staus1)='Open') AND PRE([<plStatus1_ITAG>])<>[Status1],FiledValue([<Status>])='Qualified',FiledValue([<Status>])='Converted'” it throws an error.
Could you please help with a query, i guess my query was wrong? Need help ASAP

I am assuming that 'Status1' is the original satus field and 'Status' is the custom field. Use this syntax to update 'Staus' field-
IIf([Status1>]='open','abcd','xyz')
You can use nested IIf() statement,if required.

Dedfault Activity 'Type' picklist value

Hi ,
Requirement is for the Custom Object 10 ,there is a 'Activity' Related Item section ...when user click on the 'New Task ' the Type(Picklist Field) should be defaulted to 'XYZ'….Since 'Activity' is Related Item Sections to many Record Types like Accounts,Opportunities,Service Request...etc.'Type' field should be defaulted to 'XYZ' when user creates Activities from Custom Object 10 and 'Type' field should not be defaulted to 'XYZ' when user creates from Accounts,Opportunities,Service Request...etc.
Thanks,
Srinivas Merugu

Hi Srinivas,
As i said before if this functionality is so important.
Then u can use weblink like this for appointment
https://secure-ausomXXXX.crmondemand.com/OnDemand/user/ApptNew?OMCR0=%%%Id%%%&OMTGT=ApptEditForm&OMTHD=ActivityNewNav&OMCBO=CustomObject12&OMRET0=CustomObject12.Detail%3focTitle%3d%%%Name%%%%26OMTGT%3dCustomObject12.Detail%26OMTHD%3dCustomObject12DetailNav%26ocEdit%3dY%26OCTYPE%3d%26ocTitleField%3dName%26CustomObject12.Detail.Id%3d%%%Id%%%&OCNOEDITTYPE=Y&OCTYPE=&ApptEditForm.Type=Email
and something like tis for task also.
Then u ll get the appointment and task with Type=Email and also u ll get tat in list of activities in related section of CO-10 once saved.
But the problem is cant able to hide the button 'New Appt' and 'New Task' in Activities related section.
Hope this helps.

Default value for Read-Only Picklist Field

Hi, all--
I would like to have a default value ("Undetermined") for the "Associated Account" read-only picklist value. I have an account record of this value for this purpose. This is because if there is no value in the field, the record will not be included in a report that includes the field. I do not want to make the field required at this point.
Field management doesn't appear to allow any default value for read-only picklists. Does anyone know how to get around this, either at the lead record stage or at the lead report stage (without resorting to an analytic, which won't work for what we are doing)?
Thanks.

That's a great question. It doesn't appear as though you can select it from the typical method of Admin | Application Customization | Lead | Lead Field Setup | Associated Account.
Have you tried creating a workflow to populate the field using Before Modified Record Saved?
