Picklist value based on record type

Hi guys,

I have create a custom picklist field called Type_c in a custom object Section_2_Balance_Sheet_c. The Section_2_Balance_Sheet_c object has 2 Record Types called (a) Income and (b) Expenditure. 

Only some of the Type_c values are relevant to each of the record types. How can I only display the relevant piclist values of Type_c based on the Recordy Type?

Hi @Nevin O'Regan 8,
Here are the steps you need to follow!

Click: Setup > Create> Objects> Section_2_Balance_Sheet_c> Record Types > then click on each of the record types you need to add the picklist value to.
On the record type detail page you will find a section called Picklists Available for Editing. From that list locate your picklist field and click Edit.
Add the values you need to the right column.
Click Save.
Note : When adding new record types it’s possible to include a picklist field on the page layout but it fails to make any of the picklist values available for use. The result is a field you have full access to but no way of seeing or selecting a picklist value recently added but not added in available options for picklist. Therefore make sure to mark it in the available list.

Thanks,
Smriti
