As your workflow evolves, you may need to update your dropdown-type fields by adding, editing, or removing dropdown options. Here's everything you need to know.

**Who can update dropdown options for** **[global fields](/s/article/Enriched-Global-and-List-specific-Fields)?**

* Admins at the Account Level (see [Account Level Permissions](/s/article/Account-level-permissions)). Global fields will be available to all users.

**Who can update dropdown options for** **[list-specific fields](/s/article/Enriched-Global-and-List-specific-Fields)?**

* List Admins and the List Owner for each given list (see [List Level Permissions](/s/article/List-Level-Permissions)). List-specific fields are only available to those with access to that specific list.
