Configuring field relationships

Field relationships create dependencies between pop-up menu fields. These dependencies let you restrict values users can select in child fields based on values selected in parent fields. When a value is selected in a parent field, values in the child field are available based on the relationship configuration.

For example, you can add a relationship with Product as the parent field and Version Found as the child field to make sure users can only select a valid version number an issue was found in based on the corresponding product.

Field relationship project options control what happens to child field values if a parent field value changes when adding or editing items and the default association for values added to child field lists. See Setting field relationship project options.
