set an existing picklist type from a visual force page.

Hi,
   i have a object called Details that have a picklist called Item_list, i know how to add an remove posible values of the list from the config of the object, but i want to do a visualforce page where i can add or remove values, and all Details objects ( old objects, new objects ) will have this values to be selected.

 Thanks

I guess, you can use meta data api to do that. Please refer to the docs.

 

Here is a sample lifted from the Meta  Data API doc:

 

 

// Create a picklist
Picklist expenseStatus = new Picklist();
PicklistValue unsubmitted = new PicklistValue();
unsubmitted.setFullName("Unsubmitted");
PicklistValue submitted = new PicklistValue();
submitted.setFullName("Submitted");
PicklistValue approved = new PicklistValue();
approved.setFullName("Approved");
PicklistValue rejected = new PicklistValue();
rejected.setFullName("Rejected");
expenseStatus.setPicklistValues(new PicklistValue[] {unsubmitted, submitted, approved,
rejected});
CustomField expenseStatusField = new CustomField();

expenseStatusField.setFullName("ExpenseReport__c.ExpenseStatus__c");
expenseStatusField.setLabel("Expense Report Status");
expenseStatusField.setType(FieldType.Picklist);
expenseStatusField.setPicklist(expenseStatus);
create(expenseStatusField);
