Cascading Choice is a new custom field type supporting 2 levels of choices.
You can now create Cascading Choice fields on the Event Registration and Membership Application forms.
When the user selects one option – depending on what option they choose, the next level field will display another set of choices.
For example: Choose your Industry. The first level answers are Agriculture, Arts & Entertainment, Construction, Management, Manufacturing, etc. If you choose Agriculture, the second level answers related to that industry are Crop Production, Animal Production, Agriculture Livestock, etc.

The answers can be entered manually or imported via an Excel file, using the provided import template.
You can complete the following actions on Cascading Choices:
- Switch between the levels
- Set a default option to be displayed on each level
- Delete options
To obtain the correct results, you must filter by both cascading choice levels.
The cascading choice fields are also available on Mobile apps.
