Choice list show up as blue

I created a new table that extends to the task table.  

My custom choices (Task States) are showing as blue. See image in next post.

I've read this means they have the blues and are not happy, then in another post I read it's becasue they are custom choices.  

Which is accurate? Should I be concerned? What should I look at to make them black and happy?

the color code is telling you what table those choices are on to help you figure out where to find/modify them.. the key is in the upper left..



everything in blue is on the Pcr table everything in black is on the task table.



if you have more tables <common on tables that extend cmdb_ci> they will add more colors.

Hello Mark,



Please refer.


Beating the invalid choice blues


Hi,



I read that, and that's where I got the "Blue" reference above. I did not feel it answered my question.



On my form itself the choice is black, see image.


But in the choice list configuration (Above) it shows in blue, hence why I am confused.

Thanks Mark for the update. I was assuming you were referring to the invalid choice value that exists on table list view.


Mark,



Those are two different interfaces. Choices added to your PCR table will be in blue to signify that they are NOT inherited from the base table, Task.   The black choices are in black to show that they ARE in fact inherited choices and must be managed at the base table.



On the form itself, which is user facing, you won't see any difference, because all of them are valid choices within your application.

I understand the color difference now. Thank you so much.
