Hello.

I notice that the default CRED form in the Real Estate reference site shows "Agents" as a drop down select list.
Agents has a PARENT post relationship to Apartments.

In order to expose "State" on the form I need to also make it a PARENT post relationship to Apartments.
City has already a PARENT post relationship to Apartments.

My question, is there a way to ONLY show the City/s that are children of the State post type within this CRED form?
(State is by default a parent of City in the reference site).

hidden link

<div class="form-group">
        <label>[wpml-string context='cred-form-Add Apartment-353' name='state Parent']State[/wpml-string]</label>
    [cred_field field='_wpcf_belongs_state_id' value='' order='date' ordering='desc' required='true' select_text='--- not set ---' validate_text='state must be selected' class='form-control' output='bootstrap']
    </div>

    <div class="form-group">
        <label>[wpml-string context='cred-form-Add Apartment-353' name='city Parent']City[/wpml-string]</label>
    [cred_field field='_wpcf_belongs_city_id' value='' order='date' ordering='desc' required='true' select_text='--- not set ---' validate_text='city must be selected' class='form-control' output='bootstrap']
    </div>

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

No - unfortunately there is no native way available to display dependent drop down options based on dropdown selection.

How can we elevate this ticket to a "feature request"?

I imagine that the need for "nested select" fields in CRED is a pretty common use case scenario.
