Hi @Mahesh033 ,

Yes you can use the same choices on other field of custom table. 

When you are editing the new choice field on the new table, there are options to use choices from another table. If a choice is added, changed, or removed from the choice list, it will show on the field that is sharing the choices as well.

Please refer the below links and follow the steps.

Hi @Mahesh033 ,

Hope you are doing great.

yes, you can copy the choice field option from one table's firld to other custom table.

You can open dictionary on your new custom table where you want to use same list of Base Options (inherit from sys_cs_conversation --> device type field ).

in above screenshot , in choice table you can specify table --> "sys_cs_conversation ", and in choice field you can specify "device type " to inherit the same choices in new custom table.
