What it does
Some forms ask questions where the right answer depends on an earlier one. A car parts form needs a model list that matches the chosen make, and an address form needs cities that belong to the selected country. Putting every option in one long dropdown makes the form hard to use. This add-on solves that by linking several select menus together, so each level narrows the choices for the next one, such as Year, then Make, then Model.
You add a Chained Selects field to a form without writing code, then fill it with hierarchical data. For large option sets you can import a CSV file, and developers can control the options programmatically through hooks and filters for data-driven dropdowns. The field also works with the conditional logic built into Gravity Forms, so you can show or hide other fields based on what someone picks. You can also hide dropdowns that are not yet active.
Best for
- Automotive sites asking for vehicle year, make and model
- Forms that collect country, state and city details
- Developers building data-driven dropdowns in Gravity Forms
Features
Chained dropdown field
Add cascading select menus to your forms without coding, with each dropdown updating its options based on the selection made in the previous one.
CSV import for choices
Import large sets of hierarchical data from a CSV file to fill your chained select options instead of entering every choice by hand.
Hooks and filters
Developers can use the available hooks and filters to set select options programmatically, which makes dropdowns driven by live or external data possible.
Conditional logic support
Use the native conditional logic in Gravity Forms to show or hide other fields depending on what the visitor chooses in the chained selects.
Multi-level selections
Build dependent menus with several levels, such as Year, Make and Model, or Country, State and City, to break a complex choice into simple steps.
Hide inactive dropdowns
A setting lets you hide dropdowns that are not active yet, so visitors only see the next menu once there is something to choose.

Questions about Gravity Forms Chained Selects
Do I need Gravity Forms to use this?
Yes. This is an add-on that extends Gravity Forms with a Chained Selects field type. It adds cascading dropdowns to forms you build with Gravity Forms and works alongside its existing features, such as conditional logic.
How do I add the options for each dropdown level?
You can import your hierarchical data from a CSV file, which is handy for large option sets like vehicle or location lists. If your data changes or lives elsewhere, a developer can supply the options through hooks and filters instead.
Can other fields react to what someone picks in the chained dropdowns?
Yes. The field works with the conditional logic in Gravity Forms, so you can show or hide other fields in the form based on the selections a visitor makes in the chained selects.
Do I have to write code to set it up?
No. You can add the Chained Selects field to a form and fill it with a CSV import without coding. Hooks and filters are available for developers who want to control options programmatically.
