Is there any particular reason you're trying to do this in a portal form? It's trivially easy in SAIL forms, whereas it's difficult or impossible in portal forms.

As Mike mentioned, utilizing the modern out of the box features in SAIL would be the best implementation design. If you are on an older version of Appian with a legacy app that hasn't been upgraded, you would need to utilize JavaScript to achieve cascading drop downs. You may find some old threads on it, but there won't be anything in the product documentation as that functionality was overtaken by SAIL some time ago.
