Can I reference a choice list on a different table?

I have a table called u_skill_management with two fields, category and sub category that I want to directly reflect the category and sub category fields on my incident table. Since this isn't a reference is there a way I can sync the two somehow?

Hello Steve,

 

Yes you can. Navigate to the choice field-> Right click on the field->Configure Dictionary->Click on Related link Advanced view->Set choice table to Incident and choice field to Cateogry and save the form. Repeat the same process for Subcategory choice field.

 

Thanks,

Pradeep Sharma

Is the u_skill_management record and incident record are related to each other (means is there any relationship between them) and you want to copy the category and subcategory from incident record to u_skill_management record when it's get created with related incident?

Going to give this a try because they are not related.

if they are not related and you want to have the similar category and subcategory for incident as u_skill_management table then Pradeep's suggestion should help you.

Thank you my friend!
