I've been trying to find this answer in the Help and in the forums, but must
be using the wrong terminology.

My form has a drop down field called "1." and a drop down field called "2.".
I want to do something like this:

Field 1:
A.
B.
C.


If you choose A. then Field 2 populates with specific choices, if you choose
b. then those choices are different etc.

So:

Field 1 Field 2
A. a.
b.
c.

B. d.
e.
f.

C. g.
h.
i.

What is this called and/or how do I do it?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
