Re: Jamie’s question:

Any ideas on how I could create an Ã¢â‚¬Å“actionÃ¢â‚¬Â dependency? IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m trying to create a calendar event when a status field is set to Ã¢â‚¬Å“confirmedÃ¢â‚¬Â

You need to do this using Salesforce’s Workflow module, not dependent picklists. The catch is that you cannot create a Calendar event. You can only create a Task. The Task will have a date associated to it, but will only be visible in the Task list on the homepage, not the Calendar.

Go into your Help link in Salesforce and search on “Managing Workflow”. You will need to read more about Creating a Workflow Rule and Creating a Workflow Task.

Why not go one step further, and have one consolidated “Reason Won/Lost field” that has different values dependent on if the Stage is Closed Won or Closed Lost? Still required, but more value for the real estate on the page…
