What is Descriptive Flexfield Context Synchronization

Descriptive Flexfield Context Synchronization allows the runtime descriptive flexfield (DFF) context to be determined from a current reference field value for the entity instance (current record) instead of a previous value of the reference field

How/where this can be actioned?

Typically as per AOL documentation it is enable by providing new check box “Synchronize with Reference Field” on the Descriptive Flexfields
Segments form (FNDFFMDC)

What is meant by Checking and unchecking

• Value of “Yes” means context is always synchronized with reference field value.
• Value of “No” denotes that context will be defaulted from reference field value, the first time the record is created and the DFF is touched. Thereafter, context would never be synchronized by the flex engine.Context prompt treated differently by DFF view generator.
