Thanks for the quick response Nic. can you please explain the point " use the Behaviours from the Script Runner add-on to make two checkbox fields to work together."

You don't - checkboxes are checkboxes, not cascading-checks.

The easiest approach is to use a "cascading select" instead.  Or, you could try something horrid with javascript and either two fields or making extra check options appear.  Or use the Behaviours from the Script Runner add on to make two checkbox fields to work together.
