Is there any documentation that you are following?no

Is there a similar example that we can see?no

What is the link to your site?hidden link

I have category, subcategory, sub-sub category and sub-sub-sub category

suppose i have following categories:
Electronics is main category
House hold is child category of Electronics
Refrigerator is child category of House hold
LG is child category of Refrigerator

I want to create dependent dropdown box. i need 4 select boxes. in first select box there should be top level categories(Electronics). after selecting Electronics category then in 2nd dropdown display Household after selecting household, third dropdown box should display Refrigerator, after selecting refrigerator forth dropdown should display LG.

As we have lot of categories and subcategories. It takes lot of time to load all in single dropdown, that's why we need dependent 4 dropdown you can check following link: hidden link

Hello,

There isn't such kind of built-in feature within Toolset plugins, see our document:
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/forms/cred-shortcodes/#cred_field
Render a form field (using fields defined in Toolset Types plugin and / or Taxonomies)

There isn't such an option to turn a taxonomy field into dependent dropdown field.

you can add a feature request for it:
https://toolset.com/home/contact-us/suggest-a-new-feature-for-toolset/
Our developers will evaluate it.
