Business Background

You can easily set Dynamic Values for various elements, such as drop-down, multiselect, stepper, tab and many more.
There are two use cases for dynamic values:

Dynamically get Salesforce picklist values

Dynamically create dependencies between project elements

  • Affect an element by a Get in the project. In this case, you can create dependencies between elements.
    For instance, you can search for a specific account, and only the selected account’s contact list will be shown in a drop-down list.

Note:

For every Dynamic value usage, Titan automatically creates a picklist Get that will be triggered when the page loads.
A different picklist Get will be created per object.
In other words, one picklist Get will hold all Dynamic values for the same object.

On the same Get, dynamics values are pulled for both drop-down elements.
