To configure this functionality, for each dependent field:
* define the field that will condition the dependent values as the "Parent Field"
* in the settings page of the "Child Field", there's a drop down field called "Parent Field" - this must be populated with the "Parent Field" being referenced,
* surround the dependent values with the ssOption syntax:
:<span style="font -size="3: medium;"><ssOption:''Parent Value 1''>;''Dependent Value 1'';''Dependent Value 2''</ssOption></fontspan>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.
