Hi ,

I am using MDM 5.5 I have to display a record parent as well child . To elaborate more I have two fields one for continent and for country .When I select continent from Look up table and only countries which belong to that continent should get displayed .

Which table should I use for it ?? or should i handle by using the validations ?

there is no filtering feature currently in the client to display values conditionally (you can achieve it through custom code via API). but I'd suggest to consider an hierarchy structure to store countries per continent. Then you can be satisfied with only one field consistently. If you still have to use two fields then a workaround to be sure a country belongs to its continent would be to hardcode such relationships in a validation expression. It's though a very workaround and its maintenance is uncomfortable at least.
