Hello community,
For some reason I cannot wrap my head around the need for a 'dependency' for a dropdown or a combobox. I want to just add a list of options from whatever datasource I am using, why do I need to select some other dropdown as dependency? I get the functionality of it if you want one option the filter the next in a cascading manner but I why can't i opt not to?
Is there a trick to get a dropdown that doesn't depend on another dropdown? Currently all of my dropdowns has all sorts of random dependencies but they are completely unrelated, but it doesn't seem to have an effect anyhow, I just have to pick one.
I am guessing I am missing something conceptual here?
Example scrnshot:

The parent control isn't even on this page or related to this in any way .. none of the selectable 'parent' controls are. I can't seem to understand why I cannot select 'no parent control'?
