Synchronizing picklist values with an external application
Basically, there is a picklist field on Lead called "Program". The values of this picklist have to be synchornized with the values defined in an external application. While updating the field with a value is straightforward enough (as in a simple field update using dataloader/SOAP API), I have no idea as to how to update the allowed picklist values of the field.
Can someone give a suggestion?
You would need to use the metadata API. As the REST API is read-only at the moment, your best choice would be to write an integration on the external platform to have it periodically update the salesforce.com picklist.
