I want to bulk delete these inactive values instead of removing them one-by-one in multi-select picklist field detail page. I couldn't find a native option in Salesforce to mass-delete inactive values for multi-select picklists. Is there any recommended approach or best practice to perform this in bulk? (For example: Metadata API, SFDX, VS Code, or any tool-based method?)Has anyone done this before, and what is the safest/most efficient way to clean up inactive multi-select picklist values? Thanks in advance!Show MoreAdd a commentWrite a comment...BoldItalicUnderlineStrikethroughBulleted ListNumbered ListAdd linkCode blockInsert imageAttach filesLink URLCancelSave0/9000Reply
