Resolution
This KBA is about modifying an existing picklist. If you need to also add a new Picklist, you need to do it separately.
- In Admin Center, select Picklist Management
- Select "Export all Picklist(s) and press submit:
- Open the file and modify the existing picklist:
- If you want to remove one Picklist or a part of it, change the status from ACTIVE to OBSOLETED or DELETED (to delete it for good, but it will remain in the file):
- If you want to add a picklist value, in this example we want to add “Outside Europe” to the Picklist “relocate”, it would look as follow: (do not add OptionId, the system will generate it)
- Once you have finished with your changes, save the .csv file.
- Upload the file in the system and make sure to select "Are all the Pick Lists new? NO"
