Is it possible to set up a relationship between two fields that allows you to narrow choices.

  • 1.  Is it possible to set up a relationship between two fields that allows you to narrow choices.

    For Example
    Field X (Multiple Choice)- Contains - A,B,C,D,E   
    Field Y -  (Multiple Choice) - Contains - 1,2,3,4 .
    When the user creates a record using a form.
    If you choose A in Field X,  is there a way to only display 1,3  in Field Y?

    I haven't had experience with it, but was also looking into this possibility of Conditional Dropdowns this morning actually.  It looks like this can be done only through a reference field from a relational table.  So if you were to create a separate table for those multiple choice fields and join it to the table you are looking to add this to, then you might be able to get it to work.
