    I think what you are looking for is dependent option sets.

    Take a look at this tool by Guido Preite:

    yes its dependent option set ,

    but difference is to when select option in Lead source then display dropdown list in Lead sub source field and again change option then display another dropdown list ....is it complete by javascript if yes then what is the javascript for that ?

    If the dependent optionset does not work for you then we can do a separate JS solution.

    In the first dropdown you would have values such as

    1 - Option 1

    2 - Option 2

    3 - Option 3

    In the second drop down you would have values such as

    101 - Option A for 1

    102 - Option B for 1

    201 - Option A for 2

    ...

    You can then on the change event of first optionset, remove the unnecessary values from second option set.

    The only issue here, is that if you select Option 1, and you made a mistake and want to select option 2, you are not going to be able to, since you already removed the data, so on the first selection, you will need to "backup" your optionset data into an object/array/json...

    Let me know if you need additional help.

    function dependentOption()

    {

      var control = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("leadsourcecode").getValue();

      var val1={value:1, text:"Inbound"};

      var val2={value:2, text:"Outbound"};

      if(control==1)

      {

             var text1=Xrm.Page.getControl("new_subresource");

     if(text1==null)

     {

     text1.addOption(val1);

     text1.addOption(val2);

     }

     else

     {

    //return false;  

     }

      }

      else

      {

      }

    }

    i will write this code but 'addOption' cant working in dynamic 365
