Creating a New Option Subtype
In addition to the out-of-the-box subtypes (Sales and Design) for the Option and Choice objects, a Site Administrator can create new subtypes.

Additional user-created subtypes can only be peers to the out-of-the-box subtypes, such as Design Option or Sales Option. You cannot create an hierarchy of subtypes nesting them under the out-of-the-box subtypes.
