I am a graphic/web designer and project manager who is new to Airtable. After on-boarding myself with some great tutorial videos, I got my [AirTable base](https://airtable.com/appBK05qqA5UoG3DR/shr5iP8yUGP66Uj6h) set up. I am struggling to accomplish two things:

1. I need to **properly set up dynamic filtering** whereby the options presented in the “Tag” dropdown are controlled by which of the options are _first selected_ in the “Category” dropdown, and
2. I need to **get this dynamic filtering to work in [an integration](https://www.journeytosuccess.org/federal-legislation)** that I am embedding in my client’s Squarespace website.  
Can anyone help?

UPDATE! Support staff at Airtable gave me a bunch of tips, including this link to [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZBj1SkGXmE) demonstrating how the dynamic filtering is set up. It helped me figure out the final last few tweaks, and I am now all set up with **dynamic filtering in my base**!

Regarding the **dynamic filtering in the integration** , I learned from an offline convo w/Scott that it’s simply not possibly using the native Airtable tools, but it could probably be achieved via some custom JavaScript, so that is what I am going to pursue next.

Hope someone else finds these findings helpful 😉
