why Inactive Choice List Values are shown with black text in list layout?

I have made some choice list values of state field as inactive on change_request table, now it should show display value of inactive choice in blue colour but it still show as black text.

On debugging i found that there is another choice present on state field with same choice value and that choice is active because of which I am seeing black text in display value of inactivated choice list.

Kindly provide some resolution or solution to avoid the text color issue.

Thanks

How about changing the value of the choice option (unique)? Did you try that?


I cannot make value of choice option unique.

Does it also change the text color, based on table and value?


Is it applicable to list layout?
