If/then dropdown scenarios

Question

I'm being asked if you can have a dropdown that contains several selections. When they choose a selection they want the dropdown next to it to have a specific set of selections. So if someone chooses A in the first dropdown the one next to it would list AA AB AC. If someone chooses B in the first then the dropdown would list BA BB BC.

In the options tab of the first dropdown, select "Commit selected value immediately", then enter the following custom validation script:

if(event.value=="A")
{this.getField("Dropdown2").setItems(["AA","AB","AC"])} else
if(event.value=="B")
{this.getField("Dropdown2").setItems(["BA","BB","BC"])}

I created a couple of (paid for) tools to automate the process when you have a lot of entries:
