I’ll see what I can do. I’ll also check if I can quickly come up with an extension to make this simpler by adding a custom type in the AWM palette. FTR here’s what it means: * Create a first app to enter the data (city + state), using 2 fields. Either by using Strings or Static Lists. * Populate this first app by creating the 5 entries you have listed above * Create a second app with a “State” field of type DBList and use the class and field of the first app. Note: do not create a second “City” field * Edit the AWM-generated Class Sheet to add logic to generate the “City” field in the HTML form. Write some JS to get the value entered in the “State” field and do a backend REST query passing the state value (and make it return JSON data). Then generate the <option>s of the <select> based on the returned JSON. Also note that all this logic can be encapsulated in a new custom type for the Palette by using the custom displayer field (which you can’t see in the AWM app since it’s a very advanced field. You need to be in the standard Class editor to see it). So if I can succeed in coding this, I could publish this as an extension on extensions.xwiki.org and you’d be able to install it directly in your wiki using the Extension Manager. I just need to find a few hours to do this ;) (will try). Hope it helps, -Vincent
