Can someone recommend a tutorial, video or instructions for a dynamic drop down menu where in the main drop down menu they have choices of let’s say A, B, C, or D. Now when they choose A, another drop down menu appears and gives you different choices for the second drop down menu based on what you chose for the first drop down menu, such as if they pick A then the second drop down menu gives them an option for 1, 2, or 3 but if they chose B from the first drop down menu, the choices for the second drop down menu would be dog, cat, or duck. I hope this question is clear. It’s hard for me to explain. Thanks
This is a combination of conditionals on your secondary dropdown to show/hide it and a properly setup database.
It sort of depends on how dynamic you actually want it. If A, B, C and D are more static, then just do everything with conditionals on the elements (i.e. when Drowndown A’s value is A, this element is visible). If you want super dynamic, You should have a datatype for your primary set of choices which has records A, B, C and D and those datatypes are of datatype “Secondary” when then has your secondary values as the records.
An inbetween would be to have one data type and the first column is called primary with your A, B, C, etc and the second column is a list of values (i.e. 1, 2, 3 for A and dog, cat, duck for B). That works if you have a smaller list (i.e. “secondary” column does not have lists longer than ~100 as that starts to slow things down in bubble).
Hope that helps
Thank you. I’ll try it in the morning
