Step 1:- Create Apex Controller : lwcPicklistController.cls

SFDX:Create Apex Class >> New >> lwcPicklistController.cls

lwcPicklistController.cls [Apex Class]

  public WITH sharing class lwcPicklistController {

```
 
```

     //fetch picklist VALUES FROM custom object IN lwc

```
     @AuraEnabled(cacheable=TRUE)
```

     public static List < customValueWrapper > pickListValueDynamically(sObject customObjInfo, string selectPicklistApi) {

        Schema.DescribeSObjectResult objDescribe = customObjInfo.getSObjectType().getDescribe();

        map < String, Schema.SObjectField > customFieldMap = objDescribe.fields.getMap();

        list < Schema.PicklistEntry > custPickValues = customFieldMap.get(selectPicklistApi).getDescribe().getPickListValues();

        list < customValueWrapper > customObjWrapper = NEW list < customValueWrapper > ();

        FOR (Schema.PicklistEntry myCustPick: custPickValues) {

          customValueWrapper selectOptionValueWrapper = NEW customValueWrapper();

             selectOptionValueWrapper.custFldlabel = myCustPick.getLabel();

             selectOptionValueWrapper.custFldvalue = myCustPick.getValue();

            customObjWrapper.add(selectOptionValueWrapper);

```
        }
```
```
 
```
```
        RETURN customObjWrapper;
```
```
 
```
```
      }
```
```
      // wrapper class

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

What is dynamic picklist in Salesforce?

Dynamic Picklists are multiple-choice questions that get their list of choices directly from Salesforce. Values are populated from Salesforce when the form loads, so the choices in your picklist always stay current without having to refresh the schema.

What is restricted picklist in Salesforce?

You can make a custom multi-select picklist field into a restricted picklist only if the picklist has fewer than 500 values. A restricted picklist's values are limited to only those values defined by a Salesforce admin, which prevents users from loading redundant or erroneous values through the API.

How do you get picklist values dynamically in Apex?

To fetch the picklist values in Apex dynamically, we need to make an extra call to getGlobalDescribe() to get the Schema. SObjectType of that particular object. Then, we can use it to fetch the DescribeSobjectResult. Once we get the DescribeSobjectResult, we need to call fields.
