Field Dependency

1. Field Dependency Definition

• A field dependency means the selectable values of a dependent (child) picklist/multi-select field are determined by the value chosen in another controlling (parent) single-select field.
• Use case: For the Account object, you may have a single-select field “Account Level” with options Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and another single-select field “Account Assets” with options Less than ¥100,000, ¥100,000–¥1,000,000, More than ¥1,000,000. If you want the front-end entry form to hide the “Less than ¥100,000” option in Account Assets when the user selects Level 1 in Account Level, configure a field dependency.

2. Configuring Field Dependencies

• How to use: First create all available options for the top-level (primary) and second-level (secondary) picklists. Then create the dependency mapping between the two fields in Field Dependencies.

Note: 1. The controlling (parent) field must be a single-select field; the dependent (child) field can be single-select or multi-select. 2. You can configure up to 10 levels of dependency. 3. If a dependent field is required and has only one available option, the system will auto-fill that option (it will be selected by default).
