Fruit and Vegetable are group labels

Use this option to group picklist values by label. The Use Label for Grouping option is useful when a picklist is long, and can be organized into groups.

Considerations
  • The Use Label for grouping option is only available for Picklists
  • After the Use Label for grouping option is selected, the Sort List Alphabetically option is reset to NO
  • If the Use Label for grouping option is selected, the enumerated values are not available for dependent field associations

Reorder Values

  1. Click [Reorder Values] to change the order in which the values appear:
