feature for cascading select list from options provider

[gschueler]

In the case of a large result set from an options provider, it would be helpful to organize the json in a way that rundeck could present dynamic cascading select lists.

was able to work around this by embedding some hacky javascript into the option's description field which gets executed when the run page loads.

Hi Michael, would you mind uploading an example?

An example use case for this would be in the case of a GIT repo options provider where you want to dynamically select between different projects and their associated tags.
I am attaching an example job with some very ugly javascript in the "project" option.
In my case, project is tied to remote options provider which returns a listing of projects in our GIT repo.
The tag option is tied to a remote options provider which returns a listing of all the tags for all of the projects in the repo.

Both of these are very long lists and I want to display only the tags of the project option.
I am setting the onchange event of the project option select list to reload then trim the tags select list to match the currently selected project.
