Data Service user guide
The Choice Sets module enables you to manage choice sets for a data service tenant. Choice sets can be used as field types in an entity.
A choice set consists of choice values that can be selected from for a field based on that choice set. The choice set is also made available in Studio as Enum value.
Learn how to manage your choice sets: access, create, update or delete your Data Service choice sets.
