Manage Dependency Field

Note: The Dependency Field is an Enterprise Plan feature but can be added as an add-on for Growth Plan users. It is essential to configure the required metadata fields as "Use as Collection" for them to appear as dependency fields. Only metadata fields with "Use as Collection" properties will be available for selection. For configuration instructions, refer to Manage Metadata Fields.
