A Global Picklist Value Set in Salesforce means a picklist which you can access for all salesforce objects. In other words if you are creating any picklist, this picklist you can use for your Account, Lead, Opportunity and custom object etc. A global picklist in salesforce is a restricted picklist by nature. Only a Salesforce admin can add to or modify its values. Users can’t add unapproved values, even through the API.

Step 1: Go to ‘Picklist Value Sets’ under Setup.

A global Picklist value set is a restricted Picklist by nature. Only a Salesforce administrator can add to or modify its values. Each value set can have total 1000 values including both active and inactive and each salesforce org can have 500 global Picklist value sets.
Thus, we can create a Global Picklist value set to specify Org wide common details like Country codes, business product specific properties which can be shared by any other object in the Org.
