Notes and Warnings
Changes to a list will reflect all forms that uses that list. In the example above, if the AM/PM list is changed, it will be seen on the Assistance Request Dialog and Nested Program forms.
Removing or changing a value on a list will cause problems if that value was selected previously on a form.
The value of the list is saved when selected on a form. If you remove/change that value, and open the form, it will no longer be there. Saving that form will remove the previously saved value.
It is recommended that you do not remove/change existing items unless you know for sure that it has not been used.
Editing either form under the list heading will update the same list. The grid displays all forms that contains the list. They are not separate lists.
