Picklist dependency question between Account and Opportunity
Under Account, I have a custom picklist called Region__c.
Under Opportunity, I have a custom picklist called Sub_Region__c.
I want to be able to setup Opportunity.Sub_Region__c picklist to be dependent on the value picked on Account.Region__c.
Using the UI, it appears there's no apparent way for me to set up the dependency. If Sub_Region__c is part of Account, then it is possible. But that's not what we want.
Can this be done using the UI, or do I need to write a VF page to accomplish this? Thanks.
Definitely no way for you to be able to have a dependence between two objects. Dependencies are on relative to the single objects fields.
You will have to do this with code.
Another followup question. Say I would like to provide the ease of creating the Region/Sub-region dependency using the UI builtin tool. So, I would allow the definition of Region/Sub-Region from within Account, but hide the Sub-Region from being used.
From the Opportunity point of view, I create a VF page. I can get the Account.Region__c and Account.Sub_Region__c picklists values. But how to I get the relationship between them?
This will allow me not to hardcode the region/sub-region values in the VF page at the Opportunity. Thanks.
