hi @mohit-address @afawcett
Since picklist is depreciated I used valueset to create dependent fields using metadata API can anyone help me if there is anything missing in the below I am getting a null pointer

public static void createDependentPicklistField(){
MetadataService.MetadataPort service = new MetadataService.MetadataPort();
service.SessionHeader = new MetadataService.SessionHeader_element();
service.SessionHeader.sessionId = UserInfo.getSessionId();

   /* MetadataService.CustomField customField2 = new MetadataService.CustomField();
    customField2.fullName = 'lead.Controlling_Picklist__c';
    customField2.label = 'Controlling Picklist';
    customField2.type_x = 'Picklist';
    MetadataService.SaveResult[] results2 = service.createMetadata(new List<MetadataService.Metadata> { customField2 }); */
    
    MetadataService.CustomField customField = new MetadataService.CustomField();
    customField.fullName = 'lead.dependent_picklist__c';
    customField.label = 'Dependent Picklist';
    customField.type_x = 'Picklist';
    system.debug('L180'+customField);
    
    MetadataService.ValueSet valuest = new MetadataService.ValueSet();
    valuest.controllingField= 'Controlling_Picklist__c';
    system.debug('controlling field at L185 is'+valuest.controllingField);
    MetadataService.ValueSetValuesDefinition newValsetDef = new MetadataService.ValueSetValuesDefinition();
    newValsetDef.sorted = false;
	system.debug('L187'+newValsetDef); 
    
    MetadataService.CustomValue newItem = new MetadataService.CustomValue();
    newItem.fullName = 'Dependent 0';
    newItem.label = 'Dependent 0';
    newItem.isActive = true;
    newItem.default_x = true;
    system.debug('L194'+newItem); 
    
    MetadataService.ValueSettings valsetting = new MetadataService.ValueSettings();
    valsetting.controllingFieldValue = new list <string> {'Control Odd number'}; 
    system.debug('L198'+valsetting);
    
    newValsetDef.value.add(newItem);
    valuest.valueSetDefinition = newValsetDef;
    valuest.valueSettings.add(valsetting);
    
    //Adding second picklist
    MetadataService.CustomValue newItem2 = new MetadataService.CustomValue();
    newItem2.fullName = 'Dependent 1';
    newItem2.label = 'Dependent 1';
    newItem2.isActive = true;
    newItem2.default_x = false;
    
    MetadataService.ValueSettings valsetting1 = new MetadataService.ValueSettings();
    valsetting1.controllingFieldValue = new list <string> {'Control Odd number','Control Even number'}; 
    
    newValsetDef.value.add(newItem2);
    valuest.valueSetDefinition = newValsetDef;
    valuest.valueSettings.add(valsetting1);
    
    //MetadataService.AsyncResult[] results = service.createMetadata(new List<MetadataService.Metadata> { customField });
    MetadataService.SaveResult[] results1 = service.createMetadata(new List<MetadataService.Metadata> { customField });
    
    for (MetadataService.SaveResult objResult : results1) {
        if (objResult.success) {
            System.debug('Successfully updated.......123131313123');
        }
        else {                       
            if(objResult.errors.size() > 0){
                System.debug('eror : ' + objResult.errors[0].message);
            }
        }
    }
