For example you store cars.

BMW

----X Series

---------X5

---------X3

Audi

-----Q Series

---------Q5

When you select in the form you want that first select element had

  • Select car maker -

Second list that is loaded

  • Select Series -

And last one

  • Select Model -

This is what labels are for. You enter there in new lines

Maker

Series

Model

After viewing your instructions and creating some tests i totally understand.

I am amazed after understanding how it works, how simple this is to use which at the same time make it easy to understand the select levels from a registered user point of view while filling out the form.

Thank you very much

Ive just realized that Level Lables show up in "Full article view" is there anyway of hiding them in this view but not submission view?

Now you have total control over that with field templates. Just change it in the template. Change article full view field template to the same set for article list view template.

May ne you just use label as key? i have added JText to all label displays.

What if there are more than 1 field and you would need different labels? All fields use the same JText, right?

It is JText::_($label)

SO if you have label "Model" you just add

MODEL="Модель"
