Restricted picklist issue even providing correct value

Question

In a test class, I'm passing a value of a restricted picklist. Below is the value, and the screenshot of the restricted picklist LOVs:-

SVMXC__Quote_Line__c testQuoteLine = new SVMXC__Quote_Line__c();
testQuoteLine.ESMX_Maintenance_Window__c='SWE Reg – Regular Labour, Semi-Weekend (e.g. Saturday)';

Even though, as it can be seen, we are passing the correct value, we are getting the below error while running the test class:-

System.DmlException: Update failed. First exception on row 0 with id a34g0000000v3ceAAA; first error: INVALID_OR_NULL_FOR_RESTRICTED_PICKLIST, Maintenance Window: bad value for restricted picklist field: SWE Reg – Regular Labour, Semi-Weekend (e.g. Saturday): [ESMX_Maintenance_Window__c]

N.B.: No record type or Field dependency issue faced here.

Answer 1

probably the value you want to enter isnt exposed to the record type.

1. go to the object`s record type
2. select the relevant one
3. select the relevant "picklists Available for Editing" for edit
4. add the values

Answer 2

I ran into this same issue and it turned out that I didn't have the correct field dependency set. If you're also using Field Dependencies, check to ensure the value in question is enabled for the correct controlling field values.

Answer 3

Since, picklist values have been stored as API Name (in the database), so you need to assign the API Name of the picklist item.

SVMXC__Quote_Line__c testQuoteLine = new SVMXC__Quote_Line__c();
testQuoteLine.ESMX_Maintenance_Window__c='SWE Reg';

In the UI, it will be displayed as value [SWE Reg – Regular Labour, Semi-Weekend (e.g. Saturday)]
