Definition

This flag defines whether a generic field in the

foreign key is being dealt with.

Use

Mark this flag if you want to remove the field from the assignment to the key fields of the check table. The check is then made only against the rest of the fields.

Dependencies

It is only possible to mark the flag in foreign keys involving several fields.

If you mark this flag, you must remove the entries for table name and field name in the column Foreign key field.
