Thanks Bala! I'm working on the Salesforce Lighting Experience. Your answer is only feasible on the Salesforce Classic, not on the Lighting Experience.

Hi Sridhar,
Switch to Salesforce classic and follow the procedure given in previous post. after creating new type picklist values, again switch to lightning experience. it worked for me.

Yes, is there any other workarounds to fix this issue on the lighting experience itself? I don't want to swap to classic mode to fix the issues and come back to lighting.
