Nowhere can I find a way to set the value in second option list, based on a choice in a first option list. Assume option list 1 is the primary categories, then option list 2 displays the sub-categories, depending on which major category you chose in list1. Please explain how to do this.
e.g.
Option list1 -- fish, cats, dogs
option list2 -- for fish: cod, sole, mackrel;
for cats -- calico, persian, tabby
for dogs -- spaniel, dane, collie. Get the idea? This is an important use of option lists, but no one has explained how to "stack" them to call each other.
