Differences Between Reference and Picklist

There are similarities between Reference and Picklist, and it is understandable to use them mistakenly due to the perceptions that most of the users typically have about Drop-down List in general.

Generally, a drop-down list allows you to select one value, or more in some cases, from the finite numbers of values in the list. By the look, a Reference field and Picklist field looks very similar. However, there are couple of distinctions that you have to be aware of when choosing Reference over Picklist.

More Value

Whereas Picklist displays the items that you have defined in configuration stage, Reference can display the entire table that you have created listing all the items available to select.

It is because Reference has the ability to add more values in the table which possibly lengthens the list. With that said, you should be mindful that you will not be able to add more values in Picklist once it is saved. The items in the list is permanent, and limited to adding a new value or editing existing values.
