Dynamic Link Filters

Sometimes, the value of a link will depend on a value of another field. For example, you may want to filter Admin level records based on the value of a higher admin level. An example is when you want to select all wards that belong to a specific county. A ward and a county will have a parent-child relationship which makes it possible to perform cascaded Filters.
