[SOLVED] dynamic dropdown parameter based on another parameter

I've searched the documentation, but can't find anything helpful for this. I have a dynamic list for a parameter in a dropdown list which is working fine. But now I need to take the choice the user makes in the first dropdown and use it to give them a dynamic list for another parameter. Is this even possible? If it is, does someone have an example?

TIA,
Theresa

Are you using HTML composer? If yes, chain your paramet values. When user selects value 1 from option one, list will get updated automatically based of values in parameter one.

I usually edit the reports in text view, but I used the Expression Builder to create the first dropdown. How do I chain the parameter values (using either text view or the expression builder)?

Nevermind. I just did a search for chain parameters and found a bunch of imformation. Apparently those were the magic words! I'll let you know if I get stuck again.
