Have the values in one combo box be filtered based on what went into another combo box

Here's what I'm facing:

 

In this scenario we may have 20 Organizations with 30 Department Addresses. If I put the Org's in one combo box there of course would be 20 selections. If I placed all the Department Addresses in the next combo box there would be 600 selections and nothing assuring that the Department Address chosen was in the correct Org.

 

 

If Org 1 is chosen then the next combo box selection will be only those addresses under Org 1. If Org 2 is selected the next combo box selection will be only those Department Addresses under Org 2

 

Organization                                      Department Address

Org 1                                                     100 Washington Street

                                                                30 Congress Street

                                                                50 State Street

 

 

Org 2                                                     200 Franklin Street

                                                                450 Gloucester Street

                                                                700 Newbury Street
Thank you,

Robert

Lets say your dropdown fields names are "Organization" and "Department Address", as Validation script of  "Organization" field use this:

if(event.value == "Org1"){
this.getField("Department Address").clearItems();
this.getField("Department Address").setItems([["100 Washington Street"], ["30 Congress Street"], ["50 State Street"]]);}
else if(event.value == "Org2"){
this.getField("Department Address").clearItems();
this.getField("Department Address").setItems([["200 Franklin Street"], ["450 Gloucester Street"], ["700 Newbury Street"]]);}
else this.getField("Department Address").clearItems();

I belive you will have no trouble adding additional "Org" to the script.

You can also check "Commit selected value immediately" in "Organization" field under properties->options tab.
