Add a Relationship Attribute
You can add a Relationship attribute to define a relationship between a drop-down property and another
property, such that the value of the other property determines the possible values of the drop-down
property.
The Relationship attribute is available for the DropDown and DropDownList property value control types.
In a property relationship, a parent property value determines the behavior of a child drop-down property.
The child drop-down values are populated based on the value of the parent. If the value of the parent
property changes, the child property updates with a list of possible values that are specific to the new
parent property.
