Setting up field dependencies for Retention Categories and Types
- Navigate to Setup and select Object Manager.
- Click on the Advising object.
- In the Field Dependencies section, select New.
- Select the Controlling Field. This will be the field that determines which values dictate the available options in the Dependent Field. For example, to setup a Field Dependency between Categories and Type you would select the following:
- Controlling Field = Category
- Dependent Field = Type
The result will be that the Type field picklist values will change depending on what is select for Category.
- Each available Category will be displayed across the top of the table.
- Follow the window instructions to Include Values or Exclude Values..
- Select Preview to validate your changes.
- Save your changes.
If no dependency is configured, the picklist will display valid values for that record type.
