At this time, you cannot apply the same custom field to Users and
Tickets.  In the past, I've seen this done a number of way.
The user contains the definitive list in a CF and the Ticket has a
simple enter-one CF that copies the value from the User using a Scrip.
Alternatively, both CFs are External Custom Fields backed from the
same master customer list:
