ArcGIS Pro Model Builder Parameter Dependency Not Functional

Question

I am attempting to create a simple model in ArcGIS Pro. The model has two variable parameters - one of which should dependent on the other. However, when editing the model properties the Dependency field is greyed out, so I cannot set the dependency for this variable.

The first variable is an input feature layer and the second is a list of fields from that feature layer. Documentation (https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/analysis/geoprocessing/modelbuilder/model-parameters.htm) states this functionality exists; however, I cannot seem to achieve this on a model.  It works fine with a script though.

While researching this issue I came across a previous post on this topic, but it there was no resolution on the post. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/parameter-dependency-non-functional-in-arcpro/td-p/322915

Any assistance with this would be appreciated!

I'm not entirely sure what model this was in reference too, so I went poking through our toolbox to see if I could figure it out. We have some models that have the functionality to display fields from the previously selected feature class; however, these are all using pre-existing geoprocessing tools with the functionality already in place.

I did find a development version of a tool that tried to implement that functionality and appears to be unsuccessful, The production version of that tool has the field hard coded instead of being parameterized.

I am finding this issue as well, did you ever figure it out?
