View source for Conditional Lists of Values

The list of values selectable in a custom field can be made conditional upon the value selected in another custom field. This functionality can be configured on the following [[:Category:Custom Field Types|custom field types]]:
* [[Custom Field Type: Select Many – Check Boxes|Select Many – Check Boxes]]
* [[Custom Field Type: Select Many – List Box|Select Many – List Box]]
* [[Custom Field Type: Select Many – Scrolling Check Box|Select Many – Scrolling Check Box]]

|}

To configure this functionality, for each dependent field:
* define the field that will condition the dependent values as the "Parent Field"
* surround the dependent values with the ssOption syntax:

:<font size="3">&lt;ssOption: ''Parent Value 1''>;''Dependent Value 1'';''Dependent Value 2''&lt;/ssOption></font>

In the configuration shown below:
* In the ''Province'' field
**''--Select One--'' will always be shown,
**''Ontario'' and ''British Columbia'' will only be shown if ''Canada'' is selected in the ''Country'' field, and
**''Texas'' will only be shown if ''United States'' is selected in the ''Country'' field.
*In the ''City'' field
**''-- N/A --'' will always be shown,
**''Toronto'' and ''Ottawa'' will only be shown if ''Ontario'' is selected in the ''Province'' field, and
**''Vancouver'' will only be shown if ''British Columbia'' is selected in the ''Province'' field.
