In QAComplete, it is possible to create a custom field that displays the values from another field as a drop-down list. For example, you can create a list that contains a standard set of values to use across other modules, then associate the list with a custom field. To learn how to create a list, see About Lists.
For example, you can create a custom field in Requirements and link it to an existing list.
| Note: | Make sure all the values are unique in the selected field, otherwise, your drop-down list will not serve its purpose. |
