Filtered Cascading Select list?

Question

I have a scenario where we there a select list provided by a plugin (thousands of entries). This makes selection a big pain.

One way to handle this could be to use a filtered cascading select list. This field should take either a static list of parent options or an existing select list as options for the parent list. Each option under a parent could then take a select list with the option to filter the list based on a regex. So the requirements would look something like this.

Type: Cascading Select list

Parent Entry:

* Must be able to create a static list of entries.
* Must be able to select an existing select list as entries
* Must be able to filter the entries if existing select list field is chosen

Child Entry:

* Same requirements.

Does anyone know of a plugin that provides such functionality?

Thanks @Nic Brough [Adaptavist]. I will take a look at this.

The problem is also that the existing single select list has thousands of entries. So I want to filter it based on the selection of the Parent.

I'm pretty sure that "Behaviours" in the Script Runner add-on can do this sort of field linking.  But I'd consider converting to a cascading select first.
