Apply shared drop-down lists

After you create a task-specific information group and add a drop-down field to it, you must add values to populate the drop-down list. You can set up values individually or apply a drop-down list with preconfigured values, known as a shared drop-down list. This section provides instructions on how to apply shared drop-down list values to a drop-down list.

For information on how to create a shared drop-down list, refer to the Menu, tab, and drop-down list customization.
