Dynamic value update

Hi,

 

Can i add a new value to a pickList field.

 

eg: I have a field say Status. One value is there Open. When i call the trigger i want to add one more value say Closed.

 

When i try to update the existing value gets replaced.

 

Thanks

Hari G S

Hi - I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. Is this a multi-select picklist so you want to have both Open and Closed in the status? Otherwise if you're updating the value then the previous value will always get replaced.
