Dependent Picklist

Picklist whose available values are filtered by the value chosen in a controlling picklist or checkbox field.

Definition

A controlling field (picklist or checkbox) determines which values appear in the dependent picklist. Multi-select picklists can be dependent but not controlling. Dependencies combine with record type filtering.

Example

Selecting Country = Canada limits State/Province values to Canadian provinces.

Exam tip

A multi-select picklist cannot be a controlling field.
