Get Dependencies [From]

Step Details

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

The Get Dependencies component retrieves dependency information for a specified object. This step is useful when reviewing designer elements before moving items between projects, validating what related items may also need to be included during migration, or preparing for upgrades across major platform versions. Identifying dependencies helps reduce deployment issues, avoid missing references, and better understand how an object is connected to other designer elements.

If the Only Unattached option is selected, the step returns only new dependencies. If it is not selected, the step returns all dependencies associated with the specified object.

Type Name

The Full Type Name of the Data Type to retrieve the fields from (i.e. DecisionsFramework.ServiceLayer.Services.Accounts.Account)

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).
