For large picklists, we were not able to update the Header and the version from the UI. We used to do the updates by MDF Import, which was quite complex and chances of making a mistake were high.

Now, we will be able to update header info and also the picklist versions from the Picklist’s UI only.This will enable below capabilities for the large Picklists.

-Should be able to Insert new timeslice Picklist

-Should be able to Edit Picklist header

-Should be able to Delete a picklist timeslice.
