Notes
In Salesforce, Field Dependencies refer to the relationship between two or more fields on an object, where the value in one field determines the values available in another field. This relationship ensures that data entered in a record is consistent and accurate.
Field Dependencies are established by creating a dependency between a controlling field and a dependent field. The controlling field is a picklist field that controls the values available in the dependent field. For example, if the controlling field is "Country," the dependent field could be "State," and the values available in the "State" field would change based on the selected "Country" value.
Field Dependencies are commonly used in Salesforce to ensure that data is entered correctly and efficiently. They can also help simplify data entry for users by reducing the number of options available in a picklist, making it easier to select the correct value. Additionally, Field Dependencies can help improve reporting accuracy by ensuring that data is entered consistently across records.
