Hi, I am trying to create a pick list (similar to choosing an account code) in a reconciliation but would like to pull the values for the picklist from another reconciliation. Is this possible?

Hi @James,

Welcome to the Silverfin Community!

To pull values from another reconciliation you can create a result there using a result-tag and access that in the other reconciliation. You can find some more information on result-tags in the Silverfin Developer Documentation [here](https://developer.silverfin.com/docs/result).

Feel free to reach out for any additional questions.

Kind regards,  
Kimberly

Hi @Kimberly_Vlietinck,

Many thanks for your feedback. Do you know if this will work for an array(table/ list of values) which can then be fed into a picklist, or will the result option only bring back a single value?

Hi @James ,

It is possible to store an array in a result. You can find more information on that topic here as well: [How to pull data from a reconciliation to appear next to each other on a different reconciliation](https://community.silverfin.com/t/how-to-pull-data-from-a-reconciliation-to-appear-next-to-each-other-on-a-different-reconciliation/2326)

Kind regards,  
Kimberly
