Multilevel dropdown in a form: Javascript, Bootstrap

Question

I have a form in which a field named 'Protein Change' has a multi-level dropdown, if a user clicks on an option in the dropdown(eg, CNV->Deletion), the option should be selected and shown in the field. However, currently it's not being able to do so.

I have used bootstrap and Javascript. Can I use onclickevent() for the click event to happen and show the data corresponding to it?

 $(".btn-group, .dropdown").hover( function () { $('>.dropdown-menu', this).stop(true, true).fadeIn("fast"); $(this).addClass('open'); }, function () { $('>.dropdown-menu', this).stop(true, true).fadeOut("fast"); $(this).removeClass('open'); });

 .dropdown-submenu { position: relative; } .dropdown-submenu> a:after { content: ">"; float: right; } .dropdown-submenu>.dropdown-menu { top: 0; left: 100%; margin-top: 0px; margin-left: 0px; } .dropdown-submenu:hover>.dropdown-menu { display: block; }

Dropdown menu is not behaving like select so you need to manually change text of #dLabel .

In jQuery you can do something like:

$(".dropdown-item").click(function() {
  let text = $(this).text();
  $("#dLabel").text(text);
});
