Get Declared Dependencies [To]

Step Details

Introduced in Version4.0.0
Last Modified in Version5.12.0
LocationFlow Management > Dependencies

The Get Declared Dependencies To step retrieves declared dependency information for objects that rely on a specified object. This step is useful when reviewing designer elements before moving items between projects, assessing downstream impact during migration, or preparing for upgrades across major platform versions. Understanding declared dependencies helps reduce deployment issues, avoid broken references, and identify which designer elements may be affected by changes to the selected object.

Inputs

PropertyDescriptionData Type
IdThe Id of the desired entity
String
Start IndexThe Full Type Name of the Data Type to retrieve the fields from (i.e., DecisionsFramework.ServiceLayer.Services.ConfigurationStorage.ElementRegistration)
String

Understanding the Full Type Name

The Full Type Name is the internal system name used to identify an object, such as a flow or other entity.

This value cannot be inferred from the entity ID alone and is not the same as the display name, such as "Flow" or "Rule".

To determine the correct full type name, open the entity and select Manage > See Entity Details. The entity details page displays the full type name, which can be copied and used as input to this step.

Note:
The Manage > See Entity Details option is available in Decisions version 8.x and displays the entity’s full type name. This option is not available in later platform versions. If unavailable, the full type name must be obtained through alternative means that expose entity metadata (such as reports).

Example Inputs and Outputs

Note: The Type Name values shown below demonstrate the difference between using a display name and a valid full type name. Using a display name such as Flow will not return dependency data.
