There is a checkbox in the Picklist field "Restrict picklist to the values defined in the value set". What is the purpose of this checkbox?
An unrestricted picklist means that users can add extraneous values to records having that picklist field. To restrict values only to those in the picklist definition, enable this setting.
Checking the "Restrict picklist to the values defined in the value set" box in Salesforce ensures that only predefined values are allowed in a picklist field, rejecting any others from API updates. This promotes data consistency and prevents invalid entries, such as typos or unauthorized data.
User will get the following error when saving the record: INVALID_OR_NULL_FOR_RESTRICTED_PICKLIST: Brand: bad value for restricted picklist field: value [API_field_name__c]
But are there any character limits that the API call can push the data past if we remove the restriction?
Error saving record: STRING_TOO_LONG: field_name: data value too large: new values (max length=255) [API_field_name__c]
