  • When you select this type for an object field, a text area lets you enter values.
    • Enter the names of the values, one per line, in the order they will be displayed.
    • When the user makes a selection, the value that is stored is the text entered on that line. So:
      1. If you change the order later, existing values are not affected.
      2. If you remove an entry at a later date, or change the spelling of a value, existing records that have that value are not affected. Either clean up the object data, or take that possible value into account in your design for backward compatibility.
