How to use same choices on two different fields on tables not related?

[Karina13]

I have two list fields on two different forms/tables not related (rm_release and sys_atf_test). I have a requirement to use the same choices in both fields, the choices are on the sys_choice table. I have tried using a Client Script to add the options, and that works for field type “choice” fields but not for “list” and I need to be able to choose multiple choices. Any ideas?

We've been using references to sys_choice for years without issue.  You want to be sure to always use reference qualifiers to limit the options to a table and element so the entire table is not displayed.

Using sys_choice table is not recommended in this case. Please see the explanation here https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0813643.
