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 custom field types:

Conditional Lists - Combined.jpg - 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"

This supports up to n levels and it does NOT support dynamic control fields
