About this plugin

Skaym Dependent Dropdowns for Forminator lets Forminator Single Select fields control which options appear in other Single Select fields.

Example:

  • Department: Cardiology -> Doctor A, Doctor B
  • Department: Dentistry -> Doctor C, Doctor D

You can create multiple independent Parent -> Child dependencies in the same Forminator form. Each Select field can participate in one dependency, so the free plugin is designed for independent pairs rather than multi-level chains.

Need a chain such as Department -> Doctor -> Room, or one field participating in several relationships? Get the separate Pro plugin, which adds chained dependency graphs.

Key features:

  • Multiple independent Parent -> Child Select relationships per Forminator Custom Form.
  • Uses existing Forminator Single Select fields and option values.
  • Resets the child field when the parent selection changes.
  • Validates the configured relationship on the server during submission.
  • Keeps configuration separate for each Forminator form.
  • Keeps each independent dependency pair on distinct Select fields.
  • Detects removed or changed fields/options and asks for review.
  • Does not send form or configuration data to an external service.

This is an independent third-party extension for Forminator and is not affiliated with or endorsed by WPMU DEV.
