. DataTables are usually being referenced from Steps or HeaderConfigurations.

An alternative to DataTables is listValues that is aimed at very short lists that will never change, and is not likely to be reused (ie. custom optionvalues).

Consider using Steps.Create_ListStepFromListValues() or HeaderField.Create_ListFieldFromListValues() if your lists are short and will never change (ie. optionvalues).
