Yes, select box 1 presents a list of choices. Based on the selected choice, a select box 2 shows up. Select box 2's choices are foreign keys of the choice the user selected in select box 1. This process needs to loop until the user is done. So the user could run through select box 1 --> select box 2 . select box 1 --> select box 2. select box 1 --> select box 2. Done. The choices selected would need to be remembered.
I see form wizard, generic views, extra context, and context processors, but I'm not sure how best to proceed. Thanks!
