Scoped app overwriting global choice list

[ekelly]

We currently have two global choice lists that are being overwritten every time we update a scoped application. It looks like over time developers have added choice list items while in the application scope rather than global. They've gone back and removed the scope application choice list items and properly created them in global, but the scoped application is holding that choice list and overwriting it every time.  

I have gone through the application files and cannot find any references to these choice lists, but when I update the app in QA the log files show the updates to the global choice lists. Do I have any options here? When we discovered this last month, we just did an additional global update set that was implemented after the app to properly populate the choice lists, but that'll get forgotten at some point and really is a bit of a pain.

HI Pradeep,

I am also facing a similar issue. I deleted the Metadata snapshot records from application files for the scoped app. Still I see when we create a choice for category field it creates it in another scope. But for other fields eg subcategory there is no issue. Can you tell me where I can look into.

Thanks

I got the solution. I added one record for Global table in the application files and it solved the issue.
