I bet the developers are secretly hoping we all choose Option B just so they can watch us scramble to reorder the picklist values every time.

Option D is the clear winner here. Maintaining a single global value set is the way to go, especially when dealing with those pesky picklists.

Hmm, I wonder if the developers have a secret hidden message in the picklist values - 'High', 'Medium', and 'Low'. Could it be a secret code for their favorite snacks?
