Dependent Dropdown Lists Vehicle Specification Example

This example describes a scenario where a user selects a vehicle from a Vehicle Specification field on the main body section of a custom Vehicle Sales Form. The selections available in this list depend on the selections made in two previous fields: Vehicle Make and Vehicle Model.

In this scenario, users make selections in the following order:

• Vehicle make (such as Ford, Toyota, or Honda)

• Vehicle model (such as Camry or Corolla) filtered by the selected make

• Vehicle specification (such as engine size or color) filtered by the selected model
