We have a separate field that our General Ledger syncs with around addresses (our standard Account Billing State/Country will list where the company is HQ’d whereas the other Text field matches where the bill has to be sent; not always the same place as HQ).
Our finance team is running into sync issues because they enter bad data. To resolve this, I was hoping I could leverage the standard state/country picklists we’re using elsewhere in SFDC. Any ideas how I could use Skuid to create a faux picklist experience for our finance team?

Custom Field Renderer! Maybe using a Custom Setting to source your list! To the rescue!
Here are some forum posts that may help:

+7That might work but I’d have to build the table in a Custom Setting (Countries and then States along with the dependencies). In that case, I might as well just build the field into a picklist.
Is there no way to connect directly to their standardized list? In case you aren’t familiar with the feature I’m referencing:

+7@Rob - any ideas outside of custom settings? Please see my prior post for reference info on the standard picklists if you haven’t come across that functionality yet.

Joe. I am aware of the State and Countries Picklists. (See this post from last year)
However, according to the Salesforce Doc - it does not look like you can connect them to custom objects or fields. The Account object has a standard Billing and Shipping address block. Can you not use one of these for your Synch field? I think this will be the only way you use the standard picklist functions.
