Configuring field relationships

Field relationships create dependencies between dropdown 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. Project options are set in the desktop client. See information about setting field relationship project options.
