I need to display a choice list on table A with values in column x of table B. How to configure this? I'm also fine if it is some other component, if not choice list but need the dynamic list.
Note: This is not about "reusing" a choice list defined on column x of table B. I want to use the data that is present in column x.
I could use a 'Reference' field, but my requirement is also to have a "--None--" choice as well, so looking for "Choice" field

Hi Krishna,
You can use reference qualifier to get dynamic choice value from the target table. Please refer below link on how to convert reference field to a dynamic choice list via attributes.

Hi Krishna,
So in column x of table B you need to show choice list of table A
You can do this in below steps
1) configure the dictionary for the column x on table B
2) Select the type as choice list
3) select Drop down with None
Select advanced view
4) Under choice list specification
-> select the choice table A
-> select the choice field from table A
it would start showing those choices in column x of table B
Example below:
I created choice field on incident and it will show the choice values along with none from the category choice field of change_request table
