# Shared value sets
Easily create, manage, and reuse shared value sets in aqua for consistent field options and streamlined project configuration. Centralized control and quick updates across projects.
The **Value Sets** feature in aqua has been redesigned to give users more flexibility, clarity, and centralized control. With this update, value sets are now managed in their own dedicated tab, allowing for a smoother experience when creating and applying reusable lists of options across project.
### What is a Value Set?
A **Value Set** is a predefined list of values that can be reused across multiple item types. This helps keep field options consistent and saves configuration time.
Examples:
* Device types (e.g., Desktop, Mobile, Tablet)
* Priority levels (e.g., Low, Medium, High)
* Risk categories
### How to Manage Value Sets
#### Adding a New Value Set
* Go to the **Value sets** tab.
* Click **Add value set**.
* A placeholder appears—give your new value set a name.
* Add values using the **“+”** icon.
* Set a default (optional) and click **Save**.
{% hint style="info" %}
You can only edit and save one value set at a time.
{% endhint %}
* You can re-order values by sorting them or dragging. Additionally, you can delete them as needed.
Create as many value sets as needed and re-use them in single or multi-select fields.
### Re-use shared values
To reuse a value set, select a field and open its sidebar. Then, in the Values section, click on the Value Set dropdown to apply an existing set.
Once a value set is applied, it can no longer be edited directly within the field. To make changes, go to the **Value Sets** page, any updates there will automatically apply to all fields using that set.
### Convert list to a shared value set
You can convert a list of values into a value set.\
To do this:
* Add the desired values to the field and save your changes.
* Then reopen the field and click **Convert to value set**.
\
You’ll be redirected to the **Value Sets** page, where you can name the new set and make further modifications if needed.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Please note:** after the conversion, the new value set is not automatically applied to the field. To use it, you’ll need to manually select the set from the field’s sidebar once it has been saved.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.aqua-cloud.io/documentation/project-configuration/project-template-configuration-fields/shared-value-sets.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
