Add, update, and delete drop-down list field values

After you create a Task-specific information group, you can add fields to the group. If you add drop-down list fields, you must then set up the values that you want to include as options in the list. You can set up the values individually, or apply a shared drop-down list which has preconfigured values. For more information on how to apply a shared drop-down list, refer to Apply shared drop-down lists.

Users can choose values when completing an application. For example, if you are adding a field to enter contact information, you can provide a drop-down list of contact types. Add, modify, or delete drop-down values to create the desired list.
