Allowing Values Conditionally for a Picklist or Multi-Select Picklist Attribute
Attribute-Based Configuration allows you to create the dependency for the target attribute. You can configure if you want to allow the attribute values based on a condition. The constrained value should be derived from a value expression, for example, can be pulled from a product field. This helps in providing only a relevant set of attributes for the user to make selections, thus providing a guided experience for configuration.
