**Description:** Currently, HubSpot’s dropdown fields only support a flat structure, which makes it challenging to organize and select options that naturally belong in a hierarchy (e.g., Category \> Subcategory \> Detail). I’d like to suggest that HubSpot introduce **tiered or hierarchical dropdown menus**. For example: - Selecting “A” could reveal sub-options like “AA,” which in turn could reveal further sub-options like “AAA.” - This structure would make it easier for users to navigate complex option sets without cluttering the dropdown with too many items at the same level. ```lia-code-sample A Level 1 └── AA Level 2 └── AAA Level 3 ``` **Use Cases:** - Classifying companies or deals with multi-level categories. - Organizing product or service options by main category and subcategory. - Streamlining forms and reducing user error by showing only relevant sub-options based on previous selections. **Benefits:** - Enhanced user experience, especially for large datasets. - Improved data quality through more intuitive field structures. - More flexible customization for businesses with complex workflows. **Possible Implementation Ideas:** - Allow admins to define parent-child relationships between dropdown options. - Let users expand/collapse dropdowns to navigate tiers. - Offer conditional dropdown logic within a single dropdown property, rather than relying on separate fields and conditional visibility. Thanks for considering this enhancement — it would be a game-changer for us and most likely other companies that rely on structured data collection in HubSpot! 🚀 ---

Really hoping this gets added. This would be a gamer changer and really enhance the Hubspot experience! ---

I like it. As always, make it very very simple to enable. Seems obvious but many companies fail even with the simpliest feature adds ---

would this be possible with a comination of Conditional Logic and Conditional Options. Eg, Logic - When Level 1 = A, B or C, Require Level 2. Options - Then, in Level 2, if (controlling Property) Level 1 = A, Show options A1, B1, C1 \<\> or Level 1 = B, Show options D1, E1, F1 It can become messy if selection are removed, but it is possible ---

This would help consolidate the number of properties immensely and make things more organized in our account. I really like the specific use case to “Offer conditional dropdown logic within a single dropdown property, rather than relying on separate fields and conditional visibility.” ---

I’ve worked with Zendesk Support before, and they do support this feature. Here’s how it works in their environment: [Organizing drop-down field values into nested lists](https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408829395738-Organizing-drop-down-field-values-into-nested-lists) ![MPaul3_0-1750859074144.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/5/7/57a663fc9e4e76f84323b28d83736e65c5cf3989.png) Each “::” in a field value defines a new tier, so you can build as many nested levels as you need. I found this approach very intuitive and flexible—I really liked it! ---

I think you can do this (if I understand the use cases)… here’s the steps. Create your Category and Sub-Category properties. ![JWarren51_0-1753718133270.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/0/5/059b2de36ea1ca9a93d6defd70b849e85820265c.png) Go to your sub-category property. Go to conditional options (only appears after creation). Select your controlling property (Category). And then select which sub-categories should be made available. ![JWarren51_2-1753718241935.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/1/3/139bb6efa2e59db94053693f472384a52706747c.png)
