In the Limiting Variants section, variants' filters created in the Group of Variants section can be activated when triggered by specific conditions. One of these conditions is when another variant takes a given value.
For a more detailed explanation of this section and other triggering conditions, see the article Restrictions on variants (limiting variants).
