I wish dropdown dependencies had the option to update all fields using that dropdown such that the dependency is active when the dropdown dependency is created.
Just created a dependency and it was a very painful admin experience.
- Create the dependency from Dropdown Dependencies screen
- Find fields using this dropdown in Data Management and update the dependency to be used on the field itself
- Go to each C360 using this field and remove the field
- Go to each C360 using this field and re-add the field.
This should be a cleaner, more straightforward admin experience. If there was a checkbox in Step 1 above that said “Apply to all existing fields using this picklist?” then step 2 could be automated and prevent the need for step 3 and 4 to save the configuration changes. It’s WILD to me that 3 + 4 need to happen, and that Steps 1 & 2 don’t automatically update existing C360s to work with the new dependencies.
Also, seconding the need to be able to delete dependencies that are no longer needed, but that’s posted in another Idea thread here:
