You can now restrict the options that are shown in the dropdown based on choices selected in the previous dropdowns. You can create a parent list for the option in the dropdown which will only show the option if the saved option of the parent dropdown is selected.

Open

For example; let us say there are two dropdowns. The first one contains three question:

• What is your favourite sport?

• What is your favourite fruit?

• What is your favourite season?

and the second dropdown contains answer choices for the above questions such as:

• Basketball

• Football

• Cherry

• Blueberry

• Summer

• Winter

Now using the parent list, you can restrict the second dropdown option to only show the answers based on the question selected. Such as:

• If the question “What is your favourite sport?” is selected then only these option are shown and all other options are hidden:

  • Basketball

  • Football

• Similarly, if “What is your favourite fruit?” is selected then the options shown are:

  • Cherry

  • Blueberry

• And if “What is your favourite season?” is selected then the option shown are:

  • Summer

  • Winter

Like this, based on options selected in a previous dropdown, you can restrict the options shown in a dropdown. You can add as many parent list to dropdown as you want.
