[Vtigercrm-developers] Vtlib API and Picklist

[Prasad]

Sachin,

I assume you renamed the picklist field after the creation. If yes, that
breaks the convention of fieldname vs picklist table so revert back.

We recommend to prefix modulename for picklist table as you did
"terminalstatus" assuming "terminal" to be your module. This will help in
creating unique picklist-tables across several module.

Regards,
Prasad
