Configuring derived fields
Configure the enumerated lists. For this example, the enumerated lists are C_FLAVOR
and C_COLOR
.

Associate the dependent values in the Dependent Field Cross Reference form. For example, COLOR
depends on FLAVOR
. Specify the primary and dependent values manually in this form.
Users can select the primary value for the FLAVOR
extension field from an enumerated list or lookup. The system administrator uses the Primary and Dependent Field names (FLAVOR
and COLOR
) as input codes in the action set. The dependent extension field derives its value from the primary value.

To delete a cross-reference, remove a row. You cannot delete the table itself.
Define the dependent fields as input codes in the action set. The primary field (FLAVOR
) must be a single-value with an Enum Style of Droplist, an Enum query, or a Lookup. The derived field (COLOR
) must have an Enum Style of Derived.
