Setting field relationship options

1. Choose Tools > Administration > Project Options.

The Project Options dialog box opens.

2. Select Relationships from the Fields category.

3. Select any Field Relationship Options for each item type.

These options specify what happens if a parent field changes and invalidates a child field. For example, if Version Found is a child field, and users can add text entries, the value cannot be cleared because field relationship rules cannot be enforced.

• Remove any invalid selected child field values on the add item page enforces the field relationship and prevents invalid values when adding items.
• Remove any invalid selected child field values on the edit Item page enforces the field relationship and prevents invalid values when editing items. Do not select this option if you want to preserve the original item information in the child field.
• Select a default association option for parent/child fields. When list values are added to a child field, you can associate them with all or none of the parent field values.

4. Click OK to save the changes.
