For any Salesforce Admin or Developer, exporting Active, Inactive, or All picklist values across multiple fields (Picklist or Multi-Picklist) — is often a frustrating and time-consuming process.

❌ The Problem

By default, Salesforce does not provide a bulk export option for picklist values. If you need to extract values from, say, 400 picklist fields, the process would typically involve:

• Opening each field manually

• Copying values one by one

• Pasting them into a spreadsheet

• Repeating this dozens or even hundreds of times

This manual approach is not scalable and wastes hours of productive time.

✅ The Solution — BOFC (Bulk Object Field Creator)

With the Bulk Object Field Creator (BOFC) App from Salesforce AppExchange, you can export picklist values in just a few clicks, whether they belong to:

• Standard Objects

• Custom Objects

• Managed Packages

• Or Global Picklist Value Sets
