 * I am using CF7 with conditional field values as seen below. While the form fields
   show/hide appropriately, I am running into an issue. If you pick ,for instance,
   a $5000 budget, and select ‘Bullet Time Array’ and then change the budget to 
   $500 – $1500, and submit the form, the “Bullet Time Array” selection comes over,
   instead of the newly shown default “Selfie Station”. It’s as if the user needs
   to click into the box to confirm again, even though what is being shown on their
   screen is different than what is being submitted on backend.
   The way it should
   work is the budget will determine what shows and can be selected. If a user does
   not select anything after choosing the budget, the form should not submit (I 
   was using the “include_blank” option too initially, but that didn’t seem to change
   anything. If the user selects something from the second dropdown, then goes back
   and changes the budget, the selections should clear and only what is shown in
   the given options should be available to select. Upon submitting, whatever is
   show in the box should be what submits.
 * How would I fix this?
 * Form fields:
 *     ```wp-block-code
           [select* CF-739167 include_blank "$500 - $1,500" "$1,500 - $3,000" "$3,000 - $5,000" "$5,000+"] </label>
       [group group-budget1]<label> Preferred experience (based on selected budget)
           [select* CF-217769 disable_on_hide "Selfie Station / GIF Booth" "The Audio Guestbook"] </label>[/group]
       [group group-budget2]<label> Preferred experience (based on selected budget)
           [select* CF-217769 disable_on_hide "Basic Photo Booth" "Deluxe Photo Booth" "Selfie Station / GIF Booth" "The Audio Guestbook"] </label>[/group]
       [group group-budget3]<label> Preferred experience (based on selected budget)
           [select* CF-217769 disable_on_hide "Signature Glam Booth" "360 Slow Mo Booth" "Basic Photo Booth" "Deluxe Photo Booth" "Platinum Photo Booth" "Selfie Station / GIF Booth" "The Audio Guestbook"] </label>[/group]
       [group group-budget4]<label> Preferred experience (based on selected budget)
           [select* CF-217769 disable_on_hide "Signature Glam Booth" "360 Slow Mo Booth" "Basic Photo Booth" "Deluxe Photo Booth" "Platinum Photo Booth" "Selfie Station / GIF Booth" "The Audio Guestbook" "Bullet Time Array" "Custom Experience"] </label>[/group]
       ```
   
 * Conditional text:
 * show [group-budget1] if [CF-739167] equals “$500 – $1,500”
   show [group-budget2]
   if [CF-739167] equals “$1,500 – $3,000”show [group-budget3] if [CF-739167] equals“
   $3,000 – $5,000”show [group-budget4] if [CF-739167] equals “$5,000+”
