contacted. Reveal the Phone Number textbox only if
they prefer calls or texts, and reveal the Email

4. Promote Picklist fields to Global
Value Sets
Limitations:
You can only promote fields that have fewer than 1,000
values (both active and inactive).
You can only promote restricted picklists. If you want to
promote an unrestricted picklist, first convert it to a
restricted picklist.
You cannot promote a field to an existing global value

help.
