Pick List Information Fields

The following table describes the default information fields.

Before setting pick list options, ensure you understand the Pick List control's properties and how the pick list data is stored in the database. Understanding how data binds from the pick list to the database will determine if an option is supported. For example, if you edit the Preferences pick list to "Allow multiple selections", the pick list will not work properly because the database field is too small to store large amounts of text.
