[Vtigercrm-developers] A note on Role based picklists in vtiger6

[salim]

Hi,
    lets say i have 20 branch,  i just want to display just 2 values  based
on branch's.  Its working nicely for now. But now you saying to accomplish
that, I have  to create 20 pick list. Is that the right way things need to
be setup?. How about you guys just let it as it was.  And if some one need
So much performance and all Use UiType 16, Or Create new one.

Thanks,
