I get all the previously entered data in this column, BUT I want only a subset of data that belongs to a particular section. For example, if under 'psychology', I have two subsections - 'Abnormal' and 'Clinical', and under 'geography', I have two subsections - 'Africa' and 'Asia'; then if I type 'Psychology' as the section for a new book and in the subsection I type 'A', I wish to see only 'Abnormal' and not 'Africa' and 'Asia'.
So I want the column 'subsection' to have data based on column 'section'.
Before someone points out, yes, using tags is a great idea, but I feel that I have better control here.
Would Text with a fixed set of permitted Values work (is not conditional on another column and I am not sure of how big a list it supports)
