Trying to return values for 3 picklist values from custom object in apex class

Hi, I am trying to return the picklist values from 3 picklists from a custom object. So far i can return the values from 1 picklist which i use to populate a lightning:select field in my component, but can i get the other 2 picklists in the same call, or do i have to get them seperatly?

Hi Paul,
check following post :
http://sfdcmonkey.com/2016/12/05/how-to-fetch-picklist-value-from-sobject-and-set-in-uiinputselect/

for fetch 3 picklist values you just need to update in doInit funtion of above post like this :

doInit: function(component, event, helper) {
        helper.fetchPickListVal(component, 'firstFieldAPI__c', 'auraIdOne');
        helper.fetchPickListVal(component, 'secondFieldAPI__c', 'auraIdTwo');
        helper.fetchPickListVal(component, 'ThirdFieldAPI__c', 'auraIdThree');
 },

Regards

Hi Paul,

You can achieve  this thing in a single call by using Dynamic Apex. Please use below code to get Picklist Values in  a single call, You need to change Object Name and Field name in the code: 
public List<SelectOption> getCountries()
{
  List<SelectOption> options = new List<SelectOption>();
        
   Schema.DescribeFieldResult fieldResult =
 OfficeLocation__c.Country__c.getDescribe();
   List<Schema.PicklistEntry> ple = fieldResult.getPicklistValues();
        
   for( Schema.PicklistEntry f : ple)
   {
      options.add(new SelectOption(f.getLabel(), f.getValue()));
   }       
   return options;
}
Please mark as best answer if helped.

HI Ramakant,

Thanks for the response, but your example only returns the picklist values for the field specified, so in yor example it returns the values for Country__c. What i want to do is return the picklist values for 3 picklists which are Region__c, Status__c, Stage__c. 

Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,

I thing you need seperate calls for 3 different picklist fields.
