## Feature request ### Please describe your feature request - [ ] **I have created my request on the Product Board before I submitted this issue** - [x] **I have looked at all the other requests on the Product Board before I submitted this issue** ### Summary This feature request comes from various community requests (Forum, meetups, Slack, ect) and I will do my best to link to those to hopefully make the request clear. The easiest example to explain is laid out like this, we have the following models: - Make - Model - Sales In this context we are talking about cars, so the `make` would contain a list of car manufacturers (Subaru, Toyota, Ford, Chevy, ect). Thus the `model` would contain some options like WRX, GT86, Mustang, Corvette. The way we would setup the `sales` model would be a oneWay relation to each make/model, and in the context of this request when we create a new "sale" we would select the make (say subaru) now when I go to select the model I should only be able to see/select the "WRX" model since it's made by Subaru. I should not be able to select "Toyota" "Mustang" as that car doesn't exist. ### Why is it needed? Simply put, requested by our users ### Suggested solution(s) Discussed in various places, effectively there needs to be a link between the two models and a filter pre-applied in the admin where the 1st option (parent) is included as a filter in the 2nd option (child). ### Related issue(s)/PR(s) https://forum.strapi.io/t/customize-relations/1260 https://forum.strapi.io/t/limiting-relational-options-in-admin/1173 https://forum.strapi.io/t/get-all-model-in-custom-field/795 (There are more, I'll add them when I find them)
