Hi there

Ive been looking on the the forum but haven't quite found the right answer therefore this may not be possible. I would like to create a drop down in which the selected value "sector" then will generate a list of options for the person to select one of the "segment" choices.

To put into context:

Drop down 1 - Title : sector

Professional services

Farms and Estates

Leisure and Hospitality

Drop down 2 - Title : Segment

Professional Services segments include:

Bankers
Private Equity
Lawyers
Solicitors
Financial Services
Valuers
Property advisors

Farms and estates segments include:

Arable
Livestock
Forestry
Dairy
Fisheries

Leisure and Hospitality segements include:

Food and Beverage
Entertainment and recreation
Accommodation
Combination
Travel/Tourism

Any help would be mostly appreciated.

Thanks

As 'Validation' script of "sector" field, use this:

var f = this.getField("segment");
switch(event.value){
case "Professional services":
f.setItems(["Bankers","Private EquityLawyers","Solicitors","Financial Services","Valuers","Property advisors"]);
break;

case "Farms and Estates":
f.setItems(["Arable","Livestock","Forestry","Dairy","Fisheries",]);
break;

case "Leisure and Hospitality":
f.setItems(["Food and Beverage","Entertainment and recreation","Accommodation","Combination","Travel/Tourism"]);
break

default:
f.clearItems();}

Hi Nessa, I have attempted to add the script you have given with no joy unfortunately. I have added screen shots to show you how I have applied in case I am doing something wrong.

Thanks

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post if it helps you get responses.

That's called an intelligent forum. Answers given to one question, lead to other questions and so on. Depending on how sophisticated this will be, you might need to program a dedicated app to handle all the variables. A good example off the top of my head would be TurboTax (tax preparation software).
