How to get label and value from picklist field? For example I have custom object Candidate__c with field Gender which is Picklist datatype.I want to read the value from the Apex code. So here the way, we can retrieve the value or label of the picklist with the code below Schema.DescribeFieldResult fieldResult = Candidate__c.Gender__c.getDescribe(); List<Schema.PicklistEntry> ple = fieldResult.getPicklistValues(); for (Schema.PicklistEntry f : ple) { System.debug('Label ='+ f.getLabel()+' === Value ='+ f.getValue()); } Okay, that's how it's look. Here the output. USER_DEBUG|[4]|DEBUG|Label =Male === Value =Male USER_DEBUG|[4]|DEBUG|Label =Female === Value =Female Have a nice day! :)
