- new option "Parent Field" added for custom field types of combo boxes, radio buttons, and check boxes

- "Parent Field" is to indicate if the options of the combo box/check box field are dependent to the value of another field

- once selected, you can put <ssOption> syntax to indicate what options to show based on what values

eg. --Select One--<ssOption:Canada>;Ontario;British Columbia</ssOption>

- this means, "--Select One--" will always show

- "Ontario" and "British Columbia" will only show if the parent field is "Canada"

another eg: -- N/A --<ssOption:Ontario>;Toronto;Ottawa</ssOption><ssOption:British Columbia>;Vancouver</ssOption>

- "-- N/A --" always show

- "Toronto" and "Ottawa" will show if the parent field is "Ontario"

- "Vancouver" will show if the parent field is "British Columbia"

Any number of lists of values can be made dependent on other lists of values. This supports up to n levels and it does NOT support dynamic control feature will not work in conjunction with [[Custom Field Type: Dynamic Data – Dynamic Control Field|Dynamic Control fields]].
