If you 're using FileContentDefinitionStore you will be able to get the ContentDefinition.json content

what you can do is access the content type definition using the IContentDefintionManager, find the PartFieldDefinition for the text field that is a Predefined List and call var listSettings = Model.PartFieldDefinition.GetSettings<TextFieldPredefinedListEditorSettings>();

see in the editor view also https://github.com/OrchardCMS/OrchardCore/blob/dev/src/OrchardCore.Modules/OrchardCore.ContentFields/Views/TextField-PredefinedList.Edit.cshtml

I think he meant from Liquid.

Hmm from liquid that will be harder.

But I exposed the PartFieldDefintion model recently for liquid, so we would just need a get_settings filter I would think

Is it documented?

Thanks for reply.
yes, i need it to use in liquid templates.

I'd suggest you create a cshtml shape template instead for this part, and then inject it in a liquid page. You don't want to provide too much power in liquid files, that's the goal of liquid.
