Default Choices to display dependent on previous choices...

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.

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.
