Hi,
The only option is to make some dependencies for choice like category and sub-category.

Hi @Asmita7 

 

Adding a long list of choice values can create a bad user experience, imagine users should scroll down on the form to select the value they need. 

There is guiding principle recommended by Servicenow that if the choice values goes beyond  even 15 or 20 then create a custom table and enter these choice values as records, make this as a reference field to the custom table on the form there a lot of advantages using custom table with regards to user experience listed below

 

1. Shows recommended values while user types on the reference field

2. Easy to search by opening a separate window and select value

3. You can add additional attributes for reference

 

Also, It is easy to maintain, only disadvantage is there is a limit with regards to license if you have the quota you can create it for free as part of the subscription.

You can take these points and present these pros and cons of using choice field vs reference field to your client, I'm very sure they will go for reference field as user experience is more important factor.

 

Curious to hear your decision 🙂 revert if you have any questions.
