I know with power scripts on prem version you can use a database field type, where the options for the field are pulled from a database query. You can do some other tricks with it to set options as well.

Not sure if that will work on cloud though. May be a good place to start though. Appfire is the publisher.

Hi Rachana,

You cannot make any field have dynamic values. For cascading, you can have a value in the first field and different values in the second field based on the value in the first field. But you can't have different/dynamic values in the first field depending on other fields. 

What is your exact scenario that you are trying to solve? 

[Rachana_Pandit]

I dont want to hardcode values. I should use summary field values from a second project to be shown as a cascading list in the first project.

[John Funk]

Custom fields with selectable values must be hardcoded. 

[Rachana_Pandit]

Wat other option do I have to fetch values from another project and display for selection?

[John Funk]

I don't think there are any. You might try the Marketplace app ScriptRunner Behaviours  - but not sure if they support those custom fields yet.
