Shared lookups are fixed values that need to be shared between multiple solutions.
Example: Company department names
Shared lookups contain some restrictions on use
- Not editable through the frontend
- Not included in solution backup
In most cases a seperate solution for metadata is better, using parent keys in the solution.
- Add list of shared values
- Create a named list: "Ressources" > "Share lookup" > "Add"
- Add values to the list
- Add a new field: [solution] > "Solution fields" > "Add"
- Set type: "Lookup shared"
