Creating and Updating Field Value Maps
In cases where you want to filter the available values for an Option List field based on values in another Option List field, for example, to show only certain options to dispatchers, you can create Field Value Maps. Values between two fields in the same object can be mapped so that the values available for one field are dependent on the input value of another field.

Only Boolean or single-value Option List fields can be specified as controlling fields, and only Option List fields with one or more values can be specified as the dependent field.
