title: Dependent Features
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
:::info Availability
|
||
|
||
**Dependent features** were first introduced in Unleash 5.7 for Pro and Enterprise users.
|
||
:::
|
||
|
||
## Overview
|
||
|
||
Dependent features allow to define a child feature flag that depends on a parent feature flag.
|
||
A feature flag can have only one parent dependency but multiple child flags can share the same parent. For a child flag to be activated, its parent dependency must be enabled.
|
||
|
||
## Parent dependency criteria
|
||
|
||
* **Project Association**: Both parent and child flags should belong to the same project.
|
||
* **Single Level Dependency**: The parent flag can’t have its own parent, ensuring a straightforward, single-level dependency.
|
||
|
||
## Managing dependencies
|
||
|
||
### Adding
|
||
|
||
Introduce dependencies either through the UI or API, also applicable when copying a child feature with an existing parent dependency.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Removing
|
||
|
||
Eliminate them through the UI or API. Dependencies are also removed when archiving a child feature. A parent feature can’t be removed if it would leave a child feature orphaned. To remove both, batch archive them. If Unleash confirms no other child features are using the parent, archiving proceeds.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Permissions
|
||
|
||
The **Update feature dependency** project permission, auto-assigned to admin and project members, allows managing dependencies.
|
||
|
||
## Metrics calculation
|
||
|
||
Metrics are influenced solely by the evaluation of child features.
|
||
|
||
