Subject: Show dropdown menus as a function of selecting an option in another dropdown menu 
Hello,
I'm having some difficulties in having a tasks manager up and running.
The total attributes list is:
 
- Attributes = List, Project, SubProject, SubSubProject, Title, Priority, Context, Status, Due Date, Start Date, Alarm, Repeat
 
I would like to have the interface display the following attribute when I click "New":
 
- List (Options = Personal, Work)
 
After choosing a List "Personal" I would like to have the following attributes available for edit:
 
- List (Options = Personal, Work)
- Project (Options = Dummy1)
- Title
- Priority (Options = ...)
- Context (Options = ...)
- Status (Options = ...)
- Due Date (datetime)
- Start Date (datetime)
- Alarm (datetime)
- Repeat (Options = ...)
 
After choosing the Project "Dummy1" I would like to have the following attributes available for edit:
 
- List (Options = Personal, Work)
- Project (Options = Dummy1)
- SubProject (Options = Dummy2)
- Title
- Priority (Options = ...)
- Context (Options = ...)
- Status (Options = ...)
- Due Date (datetime)
- Start Date (datetime)
- Alarm (datetime)
- Repeat (Options = ...)
 
where Dummy2 is an option of the SubProject attribute only because Dummy1 was the chosen option of attribute Project.
 
What happens is that when I choose Dummy1 from the Project attribute, the SubProject attribute is not displayed in order to be editable.
 
Is there a way around this?
 
Thank you.
Kind Regards,
Diogo
