I have 6 separate "regional" taxonomies. (Continents, Countries, National Divisions, Divisional Regions, Major Civil Divisions, Minor Civil Divisions).
When a user is submitting content, I want them to choose a value in each of these 6 taxonomies. However I would like them to display conditional values.
For example if the user chooses "North America" under the continent taxonomy, I would like only North American Countries to be available under the Countries Taxonomy, and continue on down the line through all 6 Taxonomies.
I am open to setting this up a different way, I have custom post types set up that match the 6 taxonomies and their values as well.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Brad,
Thank you for contacting us and I'll be happy to assist.
Unfortunately, the CRED form doesn't support such conditional filtering and this will require custom programming.
Although 1-1 custom programming of this extent is beyond the scope of support that we provide, following points should help:
1. Since taxonomies cannot be linked together with each other, I'll suggest to remove them and use custom post types for segmentation ( i.e. Continents, Countries, National Divisions, Divisional Regions, Major Civil Divisions & Minor Civil Divisions will all have a custom post type of their own ).
2. You'll be able to link these custom post types using relationships, as explained in this guide:

3. In your CRED form, you can add generic fields and then populate their options, using AJAX calls and Select2 script library.
Following are some useful resources on these topics:

4. As the last step, you'll be able to process and save the submitted data from this form using the CRED form's "cred_submit_complete" hook, as needed.
