How to Create Dependent fields Using Select Box Data

You can create a dependency between two fields on CA Identity Manager task screen. The following process describes the steps that you must follow to create dependency between two fields:

1. Create a field that uses select box data file to populate the options.

   For example, you can create a field called State that uses the Dropdown style and Select Box Data for options. Each option in State corresponds to an element or a child element in the select box data. Each element in State has City child elements.

2. Create another field which is populated based on the option that you have selected in Step 1.

   For example, you can create a field called City, which has a Dropdown style and is dependent on the State field.
