Linked product characteristics dropdowns?

Hi, I would like to know if HK supports out of the box parent-child drop-downs for product characteristics options.

For instance, I have a series of main options:
Opt1, Opt1, Opt3, etc.

Would it be possible to associate to the main options additional suboptions ie:
Opt1 --> Opt1.1, Opt1.2, ...
Opt2 --> Opt2.1, Opt2.2, ...

and have those suboptions displayed in a distinct drop-down next to the main drop-down once the parent option has been selected?

So far, I found the following reference:
HK developement forum - dynamic-dropdowns-with-charateristics-options

The below image is extracted from the above poster's fiddle. This is exactly what I am after.


Are there any work-arounds to achieve this in the Essential release w/o messing up with php code? Filtering seems only to be available in the Business version.

TIA for any hints.

Hi,

I'm afraid that you'll have to mess with the php code.
