Using SharePoint List Fields in 2 List
HI We have a SharePoint List and in this we have a a couple of fields (site name and location) with drop downs entries that we would like to use in a totally different list. Is there a way to ...
Create a site column for each of your fields, and then add them to a site content type. This way, you can reuse the columns in multiple lists. Enable use of content types i List settings -> Advanced settings.

Thanks Maggan Wåhlin
Are you basically saying to create the fields in the "Site Columns" sections
Then delete the individual fields we already have in the existing list and use the field that was create in the "site column" section
Yes, this way you can reuse the same fields in many lists. Follow this procedure:
1) Create the site columns
2) Add the site columns to a custom content type
3) Add the content type to any list that will use your custom fields
