# Get Declared Dependencies [To]

| ## Step Details |
| --- |
| **Introduced in Version** | 4.0.0 |
| **Last Modified in Version** | 5.12.0 |
| **Location** | Flow 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.

## Properties

#### Inputs

| Property | Description | Data Type |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Id | The Id of the desired entity | String |
| Start Index | The 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).

#### Outputs

| Property | Description | Data Type |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Output | List of dependency information | List of DeclaredModuleResourceDependency |

## 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.

| Id | Type Name | Output |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 08daf3ed-622f-94e2-1f24-2216a00afd0a | Flow | [] |
| 08daf3ed-622f-94e2-1f24-2216a00afd0a | DecisionsFramework.ServiceLayer.Services.ConfigurationStorage.ElementRegistration | List of dependency information |
| Null | DecisionsFramework.ServiceLayer.Services.ConfigurationStorage.ElementRegistration | [] |
| Empty | DecisionsFramework.ServiceLayer.Services.ConfigurationStorage.ElementRegistration | [] |
| 08daf3ed-622f-94e2-1f24-2216a00afd0a | Null | [] |
| Empty String | Null | [] |
