Chained Select field for Elementor Forms is a feature in Elementor Forms where the options in one dropdown field change dynamically based on the user’s selection in a previous field.
This creates a series of interdependent select fields, helping simplify the selection process by only showing relevant options. A common example is selecting a country, then a state/province, then a district, or choosing a car brand, then the model, then the production year.
How It Works
-
-
Dependent fields: Each select field is linked to the previous one. When the user chooses an option, the next field is automatically filtered to show only matching values.
-
Multiple Data Sources Supported:
-
CSV File: Load options from a CSV file using rows and columns to define relationships.
-
Database: Fetch options dynamically from your database (e.g., MySQL) using custom queries.
-
Manual Input: Manually enter your hierarchy (e.g., Brand → Model → Year) directly in the settings.
-
Google Sheets: Pull live data from Google Sheets to generate dynamic options.
-
-
Use Cases
-
Filtering complex datasets: Helps users navigate large datasets without being overwhelmed.
-
Real-world examples:
-
Country → State/Province → District
-
Car Brand (Toyota, Honda) → Model (Camry, CR-V) → Production Year
-
Department → Employee
-
Topic → Subtopic
-
Benefits

Improved user experience: Users can complete forms faster and more efficiently.
