Old picklist labels still reflecting on the drop-down list of child object

Take the example below where "Old test label" is considered the old value of a child object, and "New test label" is the new one.

1. Go to the object portlet
2. Select the previous labels and see the old value in the respective picklist dropdown

3. Click on save
4. See the updated picklist value

Field criteria of a custom field in a child object does not pull effective dating automatically from the parent object.

Manually add the same field to the parent object.

1. Check the values added by the application, and take note of them.

2. Add the same field to the child and copy those criteria manually.

3. For the Destination Field Name field, prefix it with test parent as many time as the level so as you can reach the ‘Root’ object.

Example: if this is level 1 composite, add parent.<fieldname>. If this is level 2 add parent.parent.<fieldname>. And so on.
