Data Structure for category pickers and dependencies

Data Structure for category pickers and dependencies

 

  

Any solutions / considerations for this common design problem.



Business users want to constraint data based on Interface category
pickers. The values in picker B depend on the value selected in picker
A. There can be any number of dependencies; E depends on D, F
depends on E, etc.



Something like this should suffice.



Id,

InterfaceLabel, --helps data administrator

WidgetType, -- helps data administrator

Value, -- display value

Level, -- for readability

fk_id null -- when its null it's picker A





Any thoughts?
