Additional Information

- In the example below, Education is selected in the Main Program Area, Middle School is the second-level list, then a third-level list named County Served was added. It is also possible to go back to the Main Program Area first-level list, select a different option there, and then build a second-level list for that option.

- Using nested lists to branch to a new question group is unsupported and may result in branched groups failing to show to applicants.
