4. Modifying the Basic Mapping to Store Values for Static Picklists

The example in this topic adds a static picklist to the Opportunity form in Siebel CRM Desktop. Assume that a field named JVD Simple in the Opportunity business component already exists in Siebel CRM. It references a picklist named JVD Simple Picklist. The following table describes the properties of the list of values in Siebel CRM that this picklist references. Although this topic uses a static picklist as an example, you can use this topic to create a static picklist or a multi-value static picklist.

Type	Display Value	Translate	Language Independent Code	Language Name
JVD_SIMPLE	Simple Value 1	Checked	Simple Value 1	English-American
JVD_SIMPLE	Simple Value 2	Checked	Simple Value 2	English-American
JVD_SIMPLE	Simple Value 3	Checked	Simple Value 3	English-American
