@darkknight Thanks for bringing this up. We have dependent drop-downs but not the checkbox. We don’t have it in our road-map too, based on other customer interest we will consider.
@All, please vote here to this request to increase the priority of the road-map.
@sai_ram I don’t think you understood the purpose of my post.
My understand is that, currently, the drop-down dependency allow you to have a “parent” field and a “child” field and BOTH fields will show on the Activity type. When you select an option in the “parent” field, the “child” field is automatically populated with a particular value. Please correct me if I have that wrong.
What I’m asking for is the the ability to have a “parent” field that would appear on an Activity and the “child” field would remain hidden UNLESS the “parent” is checked or contains a specific value. Then the user would manually select an option for the “child” field.
Say I have an Activity Type called “Weekly Metrics.”
I have a “Category” field on that type.
If I set Category to “On Premise” I want a certain set of fields to appear: “Deployment Name,” “Active Users,” “Ingest (GB)” - but I ONLY want those fields to appear if Category = On Premise.
If I set Category to “Secure Site” I want a different set of fields to appear: “Deployment Name,” “Forwarders,” “License Size,” “Apps Installed”
So the “child” fields that appear on the Activity would depend on how the Category field is set.
Does that make sense?
@darkknight Thanks for the detail description, That’s a valid use-case! We will add this to our roadmap based on the customer’s interest.

+1. Yes, right now we have a Parent and Child field Values Dependency. But, based on the input value to a field, display the dependent fields was nice idea.
This is still flagged as Not Planned - is it not planned or is it under consideration? Would be a valuable improvement.
@darkknight We don’t have an immediate plan to support this as the team is occupied with other High-Priority items, based on the numbers of like we can prioritize.
