For all objects an activation rule can be defined in order for the object to enabled or disabled based on the setting of another object. This functionality is simply used by selecting "Like object" and selecting the correct object from the drop-down list. For example if an input field is disabled based on a specific setting, the accompanying title field should also be disabled. Thus the latest can inherit the disabled setting from the first one.
