Main field question is "Material. Is it"
- Metal
- Plastic
If the Main field response is "Metal" I want the options of a single choice field to provide 3 options:-
- Iron
- Steel
- Aluminium
However if the response is "Plastic" the options should be:
- Polyethylene Terephthalate (PETE or PET)
- High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
- Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
- Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)
- Polypropylene (PP)
- Polystyrene or Styrofoam (PS)
I'm hoping there is a way of changing the options of any such field depending on the response given at the Main field question?
I've read all of the documentation:-

Please note that it is not possible to dynamically add / remove options in dropdown, single choice or multiple choice questions. Here are the options available to achieve your requirement:
#1. Please take a look at our "Dynamic Dropdowns" widget and see if it fits into your requirement. This widget will allow you to build nested dropdown options.
#2. Another option is to add 3 separate dropdown fields one for material, another two dropdowns for Metal & Plastic options. You can then add condition to show / hide respective dropdown fields based on the user's answer. You may like to take a look at the following guide which should help you: https://www.jotform.com/help/316-how-to-show-or-hide-fields-base-on-user-s-answer
