Choosing a status based on previous status

Question

Can I create a "Status Tree" ?  I have used [Handy Status], but cannot find a way to narrow down status selections with each succeeding status. Maybe there is another Macro to use?

Example: 1st status = all continents on earth

2nd status = all countries on earth

3rd status = all cities on earth

Is there a way that if I select the 1st status = Europe, then when I click on the 2nd status, it will only show countries in Europe (instead of all countries on earth).

Let's say it works with 2nd status only listing countries in Europe and I select France.

Can the 3rd status just list all the cities in France (instead of all cities on earth)?

Sounds like you are looking for cascading dependent picklists, a custom or multi-select picklist for which the valid values depend on the value of another field, called the controlling field. Controlling fields can be any standard or custom picklist.

There may be a Marketplace app that will do that, however, I am not aware of one, you would need to go look or wait for the right marketplace vendor to see this question.

Cascading dependent picklists are supported in Jira.

I'm not too familiar with what Jira projects available, maybe you have more specifics?

However, at the moment, I'm just trying to only use Confluence. The limited statuses/dropdown list available, makes sure that spelling is correct and formatting is similar.

By each succeeding status limiting results for the next the dropdown list, this would make it more user friendly and minimize/eliminate the chance that someone can select an incorrect 2nd and 3rd status.

If my 1st status = Asia

and all choices for my 2nd status is available, someone might correctly choose = France (and not realize that the 1st status was incorrectly selected).

I just think having the ability to limit items would be helpful.
