The ModelDropdownfieldField type

There has been added a new input type called "Model Dropdownfield" which gives you the ability to fill a dropdown based on a dataobject model. One of the abilities you'll gain while using this input type, is the ability to link two dropdown/select items (eg. a province dropdown that updates another dropdown with cities from the selected province).

You can configure a field like this:

TheWebmen\Formbuilder\Fields\ModelDropdownField:
  models:
    - DataObjects\ModelDropdown\Provinces:
        class: 'DataObjects\ModelDropdown\Provinces'
        key: 'ID'
        value: 'Name'
        relation:
          relation: 'Locations'
          title: 'Vestiging'
          linked_by: 'ProvinceID'
          class: 'DataObjects\ModelDropdown\Locations'
          key: 'Code'
          value: 'Name'
