    Hi Andy,

    The Dependency error is a known issue and the cause can be the below.

    This error can occur if the solution you are importing includes a component that depends on another component but that dependent component is not in the solution you are importing and does not exist in the target organization.

    Please refer the below article which explains the issue ,  Cause and also the solution for your issue.

    Hi

    Thanks for the reply; I had looked at that but it is for importing the solution this is just trying to create the solution file and I can't figure out how to find out what dependency it needs

    Hello Andy,

    Any customization done on that field which you are trying to delete from the form ?

    As per my understanding you are trying to create an un-managed solution , which contains contact form component,

    and you are trying add a field [ Which field it is and what is the type of the field ?]

    Can you share me the re-pro steps here , i will try it in my vanilla org and see how it behaves?

    Hi Adarsha MG

    Thanks for helping much appreciated!

    I was only trying to delete a field to see if it would work, but I get the error on any field I try to Add or Remove on this Contact Form.

    Here are screenshots of the process we are trying to do PDF with Screenshots

    Hello Andy,

    Thank you for the detailed repro steps ,

    I tried the exact steps in my vanilla instance and I was able to delete the Job title field .

    also I tried to delete the Full name field to check how it behaves and below is what the OOB message we get.

    Looks like Some customization is throwing the above error message for you , You can raise this concern with Microsoft support to get a detailed investigation.
