is it possible to create value lists from values in global fields?

It seems that you cannot create a value list, from the values in a global field.

This seems silly.

Is it true?

Yes. A global field cannot be indexed.

However what you want to do can be done with a "preferences" table: a table with just one record and "normal" non-global fields.

A value list can be based on a field in a preferences table.
