I have some custom fields (Picklists) in Salesforce Instance, like Languages__c which contains some Languages names. I want to use it in a custom detail view of record, that is generated by using VIsualforce Page.

Here is a tag in visualforce to design a picklist in visualforce page (I am not happy with its design as it does not looking nice as you can see)

enter image description here

and I have to give it variable from Apex Controller that is a list of names of some Languages, in value attribute.

Then this tag is used to get all selected options by user, to save them in a variable and use that variable in Apex Controller to do further processing. This is hectic.

Is there any way to use custom Pick-list already created in Salesforce as custom field, in Visualforce page to avoid my self from creating these fields using selectList etc.??

Or I must have to use selectList and Custom Controller variables to make it possible?

You could enable State and Country/Territory Picklists in your org. However it has consequences throughout your entire org in that it gets used across all of your existing data. You'll find it located under DataManagement | State and Country/Territory Picklists.

For your situation, Global Picklists would be ideal which is still in Beta. If in a Dev Org, you'd find it under Create | Picklists. If you can get into the Beta, that would be ideal

  • I try this. And please tell me whether it is possible to select multiple values from picklist just on clicking on them without holding "Ctrl" key together?

  • Only if you used the Global Picklists. Not for the State and Country picklists as you can only be from one location at a time.

  • It means we cant use Custom picklist created in Salesforce, in visualforce pages. We have to use apex:selectList and apex:selectOptions and Controller to make new list and use it??
