You can check this a couple of ways. Go to System UI > Choices and filter by the table and field name to see all the values configured for that drop-down. Alternatively, right-click the field label on the form and select Show Choice List to get there faster.

If you are doing this via script, query the syschoice table using GlideRecord filtering by name and element fields.

Which field are you checking? Happy to help narrow it down.

@StephanieS95286 - You can use Parameterized Test by setting parameterized data set to validate the choice values.

Hi @StephanieS95286 

 

You can use Field Value validation step.

It can validate all the values that should be present and all those values that should not.

Hi @StephanieS95286 StephanieS95286,

You can verify or modify the drop-down (choice) values for any field directly from the form.

✔ Method 1: From the form (quickest way)

  1. Go to the form where the field is located.
  2. Right‑click the field label.
  3. Select Configure Dictionary.
  4. Scroll down to the Choices related list at the bottom.
    • Here you can add, edit, delete, or reorder the drop-down values.
  5. If you want to only rearrange the choices, choose Configure Choices and update the order as needed.

Note: This works only if the field’s Type = Choice.
If the field is not a “Choice” field, you won’t see any choice records.

If the right‑click popup is not opening for you, you can go directly to the sys_dictionary record for that field by filtering it by table name and field name, and then update the choices from there.

Hope this helps!
If this resolves your issue, please mark the response as Helpful and Accept it as the Solution so it can assist others as well.
