If you ever want to print or extract Controlling and Dependent picklist values, you can use the solution highlighted by Kenny Jacobson:
I had to use it in my current project to check the field dependencies for 2 picklist fields and make modifications accordingly.

Recently, I had a requirement to update a field with NULL value using APEX Data loader.
There is a setting in Data Loader that allows for updating a field with a NULL value and it’s as follows:
1. Launch Data Loader
2. Select Settings
3. Check box – Insert Null Values.
Then, follow the below procedure:
1. Export the data – include id and Field that should be changed to blank.
2. Delete data contained in column that should be returned as NULL (no values).
3. Save new .csv with new name to avoid overwriting Data Export in Step 1 of this sample process.
4. Run Data Loader Update using new file with Blank values.
Sharing is fun!

Issue:
Last week, I faced a strange issue when I worked for one of the client and 2 of their users were not able to login into Salesforce. They were getting incorrect user id/password error though they tried with the correct user name and password.
Analysis:
Raised Reset Password request and they changed the password by following the instructions given in the email sent by Salesforce. Then, they logged out and tried log back in with the correct user name & password, system didn’t allow them to get into it. It has thrown incorrect user id/password error.
Strangely, the login history didn’t show anything for userid/password error (the login attempts user tried after the password reset).
I tried logging into Salesforce using their logins in my machine and I have got the same user id/password error even with the correct credentials.
Solution:
I raised a case with Salesforce and they have shared the following Knowledge article:
The issue in our case was that the user name created for those 2 users in question were having trailing spaces at the end of the username. After we corrected the username and set the new password, they were able to login into Salesforce successfully.
Your comments are most welcome.
