New/Edit Valid Relationship Dialog Box for Requests

The New/Edit Valid Relationship dialog box enables you to create a new valid relationship between the selected request type and another request or item type, or edit the details of an existing one.

It should be noted that valid relationships are not effective if CM Rules have not been set up for a particular request type. Therefor any request, whose type rules are disabled, may have any product item revision related to it, provided its item type rules are also disabled.
