Set dictionary parent for filtering dictionary values.

Assign a parent dictionary to the dictionary attribute definition for filtering purposes. This sets up a parent-child relationship between two dictionary attribute definitions, which can be used to filter dictionary values in the child dictionary based on selected dictionary values in the parent dictionary. Example: You have two dictionary attribute definitions:

• Age, with values from 1-130
• Age Group, with values Child, Youth, Adult, Senior

You set the Age Group dictionary as a parent for the Age dictionary with these relations:

• Child -> Age: 1-14
• Youth -> Age: 15-24
• Adult -> 25-64
• Senior -> 65+

Now if the editor in Bluestone PIM chooses Age Group = Youth, then only options 15-24 will be available to choose from in the Age dictionary.
