The requirement to control the values of one input field based on the selection in another is achieved by configuring Independent and Dependent value sets. An independent value set is created for the first input field. A second value set is then created with a validation type of 'Dependent'. This dependent value set is linked to the independent one, and its values are filtered based on the value selected in the independent field. This is the standard, declarative method in Oracle Fusion Applications for creating cascading lists of values for flexfield segments or report parameters.

A. Lookups are used to create static lists of values (lookup codes and their meanings). They do not have a standard, built-in mechanism to create a dependency on another input value.

B. While a dependent value set is often implemented using a table-validated query with a bind variable, the specific feature and configuration type for this requirement is called "Dependent Value Set," which works in conjunction with an "Independent Value Set."

C. This statement is factually incorrect. Interdependency between input values is a fundamental and widely used feature in Oracle Fusion Applications to ensure data integrity and improve user experience.

and Descriptive Flexfields

Section: Value Sets.

Page/Section: In the "Validation Type" subsection

it states: "Dependent: The available values in the list and their meanings depend on which independent value was selected in a prior segment of the flexfield." This directly confirms that the Independent/Dependent mechanism is the correct approach.

Page/Section: This section details the setup process: "To set up a dependent relationship between two segments of a key flexfield

you create an independent value set for one segment and a dependent value set for the other segment."

Section: Manage Value Sets.

Page/Section: The documentation for the "Manage Value Sets" task explains the different validation types. It describes the 'Dependent' type as being explicitly for values that depend on an independent value set

reinforcing that this is the designated feature for the described requirement.
