When combined, the Rules Engine and Picklists provide customers to add their own business logic, rules, and validations to objects and fields. This means that customers can have a significant level of control on ensuring that data is created, maintained, and deleted the way that they need it. It also means that data quality can be upheld by using the system to validate data entry or provide users with picklists from which to select values.
My Question - i have a picklist of numbers which once selected from the dropdown will be used to do some calculations. Somehow the calculations are not correct when i do it thru picklist but If i manually input a number in the field, the calculation is correct. Any ideas please?
Thanks for another great article. I'm wondering if you can help me; do you know how I modify the 'AddressType' picklist? The implementation guide states that for this picklist, the external code needs to be referenced in the data model; do you know if there are any further notes I can find around this?
I have a question.. How can a picklist can be created through csv. what is the procedure to follow, i am aware of the picklist management in MDF but i get stacked up when i try to create a Picklist through csv, Xml. Please advice.
I have two questions. With a picklist, is it possible to hide the key value? So what we see is Stop Pay Statement Print (Stop) where Stop is the picklist key. The other question I have is can you default a value to a field such as setting the effective date to the system date?
Is it possible to create a rule based on picklist? Following is my requirement . achieved worker type and employee type now based on worker type employee it should populate me these 3 fields as picklist . Based on embedded or non embedded it should show me following drop down ...
I want framework supplied ( child picklist ) to be available to embedded and non-embedded contractors ( parent picklsit) so how to achieve it via cascading picklist . If i create two different child entities it will become 2 different code and when client is pulling a report it will reflect incorrectly.
I'm still trying to understand exactly what you are trying to achieve, but it does seem like what you are trying to achieve can be done with the standard parent-child picklist functionality. However, if you provide some detail about what you are doing I can possibly confirm it.
so, when i select employee as worker type not only types of employees available in the picklist appear but also agency supplied and framework supplied is visible as they cannot be related to one parent. So, when i select employee i should see only employee, expat and temporary and not agency or framework
Hi, I have created a new custom field in EC and defined it as a Picklist. I have created the Picklist and did the testin in EC. All looks good. When doing the mapping of new field in ECC, I have imported the Metadata to ECC and did the field mapping. Since, it is a picklist, I want to Define Value Mapping Entity. But I cannot see my picklist in the EC Picklist ID column.
Our journey migrating from legacy picklists to the new Picklist Center was delayed multiple times, but eventually migrated successfully. We were waiting on the migration to add and modify some existing picklists based on some of the improved functionality (custom display order) and its a welcome enhancement.
The migration tool was easy to use, the only conflicts we had to manage were translations- resolved by copy/pasting the legacy picklist translation values into the new MDF picklists, less than an hour of work.
For the end user, the ability to update the display order of a Employee Central picklist is improves data entry ease and accuracy. If in the course of business, a picklist contains 5 values, one of which is selected 80% of the time- the picklist can be edited to have the most frequent value displayed first, and become the default value on save, yet giving the user freedom to also make other selections.
Picklists are the data files that can be configured to create drop-down lists in some SuccessFactors modules, such as Employee Profile, Employee Central, Succession Planning, and Recruiting. Cascading picklists reduces long lists of picklist values to a more manageable size by linking the picklist values to a parent value in another field.
Hi all, I need a help here. We are using azure provisioning to sync users from successfactor to active directory. However there is a custom employee nav string 11 location field created in successfactor which is picklist type But when we are trying to sync from custom 11 fiels we are getting only picklist option id value instead of acual value. Please help me how can we get those value with provisioning? ![153553-image.png][1] [1]: /api/attachments/153553-image.png?platform=QnA

The Azure AD SuccessFactors connector only expands the picklist objects listed here (EmployeeType, EmploymentClass, EmplStatus etc)- -us/azure/active-directory/app-provisioning/sap-successfactors-integration-reference#supported-entities
It does not support retrieval of custom picklists.
Here is one workaround you can look into:
For custom picklists, get the list of "Option IDs" and "Labels" from SuccessFactors and use it to build a Switch expression.
For e.g. - in the above case, let's assume you want to populate the AD streetAddress attribute with the value from customString11, then use this Switch expression:
The problem:
I understand that the PicklistOption.external-id is the ID from the DB, and that means that I would have to get a different ID to interact within different environments - that would force me to create a special map, and I wouldn't want that.
My question:
How can I use the picklistOption_external_code instead?
I am looking for the right syntax, as I was not able to find it in the documentation.
That would allow me to have a single map of fields, as the code (naming) will not change between environments, while the IDs will change.
This document presents an alternative to using the Salesforce connector as a target for updating picklist values and labels in Salesforce. Salesforce classifies picklist labels and values as metadata, not as field data. Since the Salesforce connector is based on the Enterprise API, it cannot update metadata.
You then build a dictionary ($dict.picklist.field_id) with a key of the QualifiedApiName and value of the DurableId. This ID is in two parts, separated by a period (.). We are interested in the part following the period.
One possible advantage of a picklist is that you can have an unanswered option. Users can choose not to answer this question ( provided it is not mandatory ). So the value will remain null. With boolean it is just true or false. If user does not answer, the boolean remains false.
Managing a Salesforce system can prove challenging at times. But by managing your features and understanding how they are connected, it will become far easier. This is why having a tool such as Panaya ForeSight is vital for a safer and more efficient system. Panaya ForeSight will give you all the information you need to manage changes to Salesforce picklists, workflows, formula fields, and custom objects as well as show you exactly what your changes have impacted.
By default the values in a "picklist" field are in alphabetical order. Here are the steps to change the order of the values in your "picklist" fields when adding a new field or editing an existing field:
In this Salesforce tutorial, we will learn how to delete the picklist value in Salesforce. In addition, we will look at how Salesforce Lightning and Salesforce Classic are used to delete the picklist value in existing records.
While working in an organization that uses the Salesforce CRM tool, I was asked to delete the outdated options that are no longer working. As a result, I made the decision to delete the picklist value.
So, If you want to learn how I delete the picklist value to revise the business process, maintain data integrity, etc. in both Salesforce Lightning and Salesforce Classic components, you have come to the right place.
In Salesforce, deleting the picklist value is the process that permanently removes a certain option or choice in a picklist field on records. On deletion of the picklist value, that value will be no longer available for the clients.
Moreover, the deletion of a picklist value may have an impact on previous records or workflows that we have used referring to the value. To prevent problems with data integrity it is essential to analyze and take care of dependent picklist value records.
With this, we have understood what deletion of the picklist value means in Salesforce. Now, we will move ahead and learn the procedure to delete the picklist value in Salesforce Lightning.
With this, we have successfully learned to delete the picklist value in Salesforce Lightning Component. Now, we will proceed and learn to delete the picklist value in Salesforce Classic.
We have learned once we delete the picklist value from the system in Salesforce, this particular picklist value can no longer be available in the relevant picklist field on records. In addition, a picklist value that has been deleted will also affect the existing records.
Also, users cannot restore this value back if they want it at some moment. Moreover, we have also learned the steps to delete the picklist value in Salesforce Lightning and in Salesforce Classic Component.
You can enable non-English users to get translated values of picklist during document generation. To achieve this, you must set the APTS_TranslatePickValuesInDocs admin setting to true. If you do not configure this admin setting or set it to false, CPQ uses the values defined in English in the generated document instead of the translated values.
Have you ever wanted a user to select one item from a picklist (or dropdown) and then have a subsequent picklist update to only show valid selections based upon what was chosen in the first picklist? Cascading picklists are the answer. For example, you might have a dimension with a Business Unit level and beneath that, Cost Centres. You want users to first choose a Business Unit and then choose a Cost Centre from the children of the Business Unit. In other words, you have cascading dropdown built right inside TM1.
