# Get Dependencies [From]

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

## Properties

#### Inputs

| Property | Description | Data Type |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Id | The desired entity Id | String |
| 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).
