Hi,

Is there a way to refer existing text/value list field data in the custom object?

thanks,

@SinghaiPrachi sure, you can inspect the field via the browser and get the element information you can use in the custom object.

Hi @DavidPetty 

How can I get the element information, can you please guide me.

The requirement is I need to create a table based on some existing fields data already getting populated from calculations. so I did created one custom object and write a HTML code for table but I need to refer existing field data in that table that's where I need to refer existing field data.

Thanks,

Prachi

You can inspect element using Chrome. Right click on the field in a record.

Have a look at this though: https://www.archerirm.community/t5/archer-custom-objects-knowledge/the-horrors-of-moving-custom-objects-from-one-environment-to/ta-p/569029
