    Hi Peter,

    When using the data entry form, is there a way to narrow down the lookup list based on the selection from a previous list?

    For example, in a data entry form, I need the user to fill in these three fields: country, state, and city.

    I want the state lookup list to be populated based on the country selection. In other words, only show the states of the country of selection. Then, I want to do the same. Populate the city lookup list based on the state selection.

    can this be done?

    Thanks.

    Jay

    Hi Jay,

    It can be done, but it cannot be generated automatically. These are specific requirements for specific use cases and need to be added programmatically. Customizing drop down lists in Data Projects require PHP and JavaScript knowledge. If you want me to explain how this logic can be added, I need to know how you are using Data Projects. Please let me know how you want me to proceed.

    Thanks,
    Peter

    I am interested too!

    My use case:

    DropDown 1: Category
    DropDown 2: Product

    Only display list of Products in DropDown 2 that are related to Category selected in DropDown 1.

    I hope this helps.

    programmatically? Maybe not for me. However, as a built-in feature, absolutely. I see I am not the only one asking for this. So please consider this as a feature request. Thanks.

    I see the need! 😊

    Where do you need the functionality? If the back-end? Or with a shortcode on the front-end? Maybe this can be done with some generic javascript? Let me think about this…

    Best regards,
    Peter
