dictionary attribute: dependent

Hello 

 

I'm playing around with the "dependent" attribute on column definition.

 

Like on incident table ("assigned_to" is dependent on "assignment_group"), I could create my own table create a user and group reference & dependent, and it's working. 

Then I created an other table with  user & roles references   (role "dependent" on user)  and it's not working. 

(if I  select a user I still see all roles). 

 

In general there is a "m2m" table between such 2 references   
- user & group: m2m  = sys_user_grmember

- user & roles: m2m = sys_user_has_role

 

These m2m table(s) is not specified when configure an "dependent" in dictionary.  How does the systems knows which m2m table to use.   


One step further: 
- if I create an own application with two tables   tab1  & tab2 
- I can create multiple m2m - tables   referencing  tab1 & tab2  for multiple purposes
- how does Servicenow knows which to  use for "dependent" ??

I appreciate any contribution. Many thanks.
