Filter field values depending on other field

Situation:

In CRM we wish to register the languages the contact person speaks, as well as the preferred language.
The preferred language must be one of the languages attached to the contact.
So contact A speaks German, English and French, then the preferred language must be one of these three (and cannot be Spanish).

What is the best practice to deal with this?

    Hi,

    I think you can achieve this using option set filtering.

    Here are more details on option set filtering.

    I think I found a way by using JavaScript. The script is not complete yet, but it's a start.

    // new_languages 			= multi select optionset
// new_preferredlanguage	= (single select) optionset
var languages;
var preferredLanguageControl;
var prefLangOptions;
var languagesLength;
//
onLoad = function () {
	languages = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_languages").getValue();
	multiLanguageChanged();
}


multiLanguageChanged = function () {
	preferredLanguageControl = Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("new_preferredlanguage");
    prefLangOptions = preferredLanguageControl.getAttribute().getOptions();
	languages = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_languages").getValue();
	//
	if (languages != null) {
		languagesLength = languages.length;
		preferredLanguageControl.clearOptions();
		for (var i = 0; i < languagesLength; i++) {
			preferredLanguageControl.addOption(prefLangOptions[i]);
		}
	}
}
