Populate Drop Down Lists

Avatar

Level 1

Hello,

How would I go about doing this?  I want to have a drop down box with maybe 10 selections available in it.  When they make there selection it will auto populate other drop down boxes or automatically select certain boxes in the rest of the form based on the initial selection.  Is this even possible?  Any help would be greatly appreciatted.

Thanks

Hi Dan,

Absolutely you can, and it happens to be a question asked a lot so you are not alone in wanting that feature for your form.  A search here for "Populate Drop Down List" returns a plethora of posts with advise on how to do it and sample code-
