I have a follow up question to https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...own-lists.html if I may.




I have a test template I am building that would require steps in the test case cycle to be updated depending on what platform the user would be testing when selecting this via a Drop Down Content Control.


For example, if a test analyst selected iOS, the form would auto populate fields individually (one row for one task) with a Drop Down Control Box for a pass or fail.


This could mean there is a list of 20 items within the single test case that may need to be populated based on the platform the test analyst chose.


I have attached a template I have been working on which I hope makes some sense.


I don't think this is not possible, I am just not a dev master in Word.


Cheers
Dan

It is certainly possible to have a dropdown selection result in the population of other dropdowns, generate the texts for different table cells, and so on. The https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...own-lists.html thread already discusses the latter.

For Dependent Dropdown Content Controls, see:
Help with cascading dropdown list

For Hierarchical Dropdown Content Controls, see:
Creating a reducing drop down list

Getting all this to work the way you want in the one document can be a challenge - especially if you don't have a coding background.

Cheers Paul - Yeah I have zero coding experience, I have just started out learning VBA but I will give it a crack.
