Categories and sub-categories in Custom Fields

Is there a feature in the Custom Fields wherein, for example, user selects "iPhone" in Phone brand select menu, he can choose "iPhone 3" in the following Phone model select menu and not list those phones that aren't with the iPhone line of models. If he chooses Samsung, then only Samsung models will be listed. I believe this is available when the user selects a category then the subcategory will be listed during the posting of an ad. What I'm asking is, can this be done on the Custom Fields?

A client wants that feature so I will know if there will be modifications to be made when they purchase ClassiPress.

When you're setting up the categories and subcategories initially you could do this, the category is what is selected in the first step of the ad posting process using a dynamic dropdown which will display subcategories based on the category selected (as shown on the demo site). If it's set up a custom field within the form though, there wouldn't be a dynamic dropdown. If you wanted that to happen within the form then it would require customization on your part. Thanks.
