Actually, if you don't mind laying around with XML, you can manaully changge
these values after the fact. This is unsupported and any existing records you
have won't pickup the "new" values, but here is what you can do:
1. Export the customizations from Deplaoyment manager
2. Edit the resulting XML file. Do to the file size, I find it easier to go at
it with a text editor vs. an XML editor. But it's your choice.
3. Find the picklist values.
4. Edit them to what you want, being careful to maintain the XML structure.
5. Make sure the picklists on both forms are the same.
6. Save and import back into Deployment.
7. Publish & IISReset.

Good luck!
