Dependency

The Dependency tab allows you to make the existence of a design attribute dependent upon other attributes such that the design attribute will be used only under certain conditions. If these conditions are not met, the attribute is not included in the generated code and not visible in the Design Attributes tab in the Properties dialog.

For example, the attribute Task Run Mode will be displayed only if the activity is of type Task.

The drop-down lists can be used to compose conditions involving relevant attributes.

You can then specify whether the design attribute is available only if all of the listed conditions are met or if any of the listed conditions are met.
