Dynamic dropdowns - Waterfall request

GarrettH

I read through this discussion that goes back 2 1/2 years and didn't really see a solution to my issue. I have a very simple form and intake sheet. In the form, I want users to select one (or more) of five Category options in a dropdown, and based on their selections, another question should appear with the relevant Subcategories (there are about 50 total) associated with the main Categories.

Right now I don't see a way to filter the list of Subcategories so all 50 don't display in the second question.

Put another way, I have Categories A, B, C, D, E. If a user selects A, I only want Subcategories A1–A10 to appear in the next question's dropdown, NOT A1–A10, B1–10, C1–10, D1–10, & E1–10.

How do I accomplish this please?

Recently signed on with SmartSheet and love the platform and its versatility but was shocked that dynamic pulldown capability did not exist. It's a huge miss and one that is absolutely needed to maintain some degree of data integrity. It appears to have been discussed for literally years…..is it on the roadmap, being considered? Are there alternatives in the meantime…..without having to spend additionally on some SmartSheet premium app?
