Configure Dropdown Values
You can assign classifications when you create objects. If you have a SuperAdmin profile, you can create new classifications or modify the default classifications to suit the needs of your organization.
1. From the Axon toolbar, click the Admin Panel menu item under your user name.
2. In the menu on the left, click Dropdown Configurations under Meta-Model Administration.
3. In the Dropdown Configurations page, select a module from the list in the Choice property.
Axon filters the list of choices to display the options available in the facet that you selected.
Note: You must not update the values for the Axon Status module in the dropdown configuration list.
4. Click the module that you want to edit.
Axon displays the configuration menu editor.
5. In the configuration page, click the + icon to add a new item to the dropdown menu.

If the value is in use, Axon displays a warning message. You cannot delete the predefined values for dropdown configuration.
8. Click Save and Close.
Guidelines for Deleting Relationship Type Values
If you select a relationship type from the list of dropdown values and delete a relationship type value that you added, the relationships between Axon objects that are linked using the relationship type are not applicable anymore. However, the Axon interface does not indicate that the relationships between the objects are broken.
Before you delete a relationship type value from the dropdown configuration, it is recommended that you ask the Axon users in your organization to edit the objects to remove the relationships.
To search for objects that are related to each other using a specific relationship type, use the http(s)://<Axon_host>:<port>/unison/v2/facet/_search API, and filter by the relTypeName parameter. For more information, see the Retrieve Primary Objects and Their Related Objects chapter in the Informatica Data Governance 7.1 REST API Guide.
To delete the relationships after you find them, use the http(s)://<Axon_host>:<port>/bulkupload/v1/relationships API. For more information, see the Create or Update a Single Object, and Create or Delete a Single Relationship topic in the Informatica Data Governance 7.1 REST API Guide.
After the users remove the relationships, you can delete the relationship type value from the dropdown configuration.
