I've got a form that I'm trying to create a form that can used for survey work.  I need to be able to select the Feature, then have the Type populated based on the Feature.  Then be able to select the Type and have the Material list populate based on the Type.  I can't get the test code to work and don't know why.  Any help?Link to Test File 

 

Thanks in advance.

Look at the Javascript console for errors.

I called this kind of operation a "cascading drop-downs set", and it can be done using a custom-made script, although it's not a trivial task.

If you're interested I've developed a (paid-for) tool that allows you to set it up very easily. All you need to have is a spreadsheet with all possible combinations and then you run the script on it and it generates the scripts under each one of the drop-downs to populate the next one(s) in the set. You can find it here: http://try67.blogspot.com/2014/11/acrobat-create-cascading-dropdowns.html
