When working in a fieldbook in survey, we want to set the default file path to a specific location for .tiw files. As it stands, ORD remembers the last location from which a .tiw was imported, but we want to set a file path for all users.

Bring back "Depends On" in the Properties

It is my understanding that this was removed in the 2024 version due to general confusion, but I'd like it to be added back. If it is made toggleable, it can be turned off by default to avoid the aforementioned confusion, and this allows those tha...
