How do I create a dropdown that only populates based on a previous field?

    I would like to have my customers fill in vehicle details. The first field will be "Vehicle Make" with options like Audi, BMW, Chevy, Honda, etc.

    Based on that entry, I want the next field to populate the "Vehicle Model" specific to that Make.

    So if someone chooses Hyundai, the next field's options would be Accent, Elanta, Sonata, etc.

    It is not possible to update the options of a drop-down field based on another field's selection/answer but, it is possible to show the correct drop-down field associated with the selection/answer instead.

    In your example, if someone chooses Hyundai, the drop-down field that will show contains the options Accent, Elantra, Sonata etc...

    This means that you will have one Vehicle Model drop-down field for each Vehicle Make in your first drop-down field.

    I hope this helps. If you have any further questions regarding this, please feel free to contact us again anytime.

    Thank you.
