Hello, Experts

How to create a hierarchy dropdown list in one Dynamics 365 CE table's Form? Like

Purchase Order

  - Tool
    - Tool1
    - Tool2
    - Tool3
      - Screwdriver
      - Pliers
      - Hummer
- Tool4

- Furniture
  - Furniture1
  - Furniture2
  - Furniture3

- Book
  - Book1
  - Book2

How to create this complex dropdown list? That mean, for example when I click Purchase Order, the items Tool, Furniture and Book are listed; when I click Tool, Tool1, Tool2, Tool3 and Tool4 are listed; when I click Tool3, Screwdriver, Pliers and Hummer are listed..

Any idea, approach and suggestion are welcome and appreciate.

    Hi partner,

    I've tried adding other controls (like a tree control), but choice fields don't seem to support it, and none seem to work. I'm currently out of other ideas.

    Thank you for your reply.

    Now I'm trying the Business Rule solution. Could you share me your experience? Thanks in advance.

    Hi partner,

    Unfortunately, there is no way to create Choice fields as hierarchical dropdown list.

    I think it's unsupported.

    Or you can create multiple select fields on the form. Please ignore if you think it is troublesome, hope it can help you!
