Setting button hierarchy in InDesign...

Can I set a group of buttons to be beneath a parent button? I would like a set of interactive buttons (once exported to PDF) to be choice only, but beneath a higher button set to a different set of choices. (See image)BUttons.jpg

It would not be something you could drag and drop. You could possibly do it with some button scripting, but not through an if/then hierarchy in InDesign.

My issue is, Once the yes button is selected, (from 4 different products) I want the amount buttons below it to only apply to that product, which, right now, there's no clear way to do that. There's gotta be a way, considering that's kind of a basic function of forms

Visit the Acrobat forms forum. None of this can be done in InDesign.

Nope. It is not a basic function. Using logic trees to show and hide content based on selection is definitely beyond basic. Even in HTML forms you have to pay decent amounts for advanced forms that perform this kind of logical display.
