How do I create dependent, or "cascading," dropdowns

I have a book tracker that includes Databases to track properties of books, such as "Categories" (Fiction or Non-Fiction), "Genres" (Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Business), and "Sub-Genres" (Epic, High, and Biographies. Each Database references the one before it. From the Book DB I created relations between Books and Categories, Books and Genre, and Books and Sub-Genre. The Genre DB includes a column specifying whether the Genre is Fiction or Non-Fiction and the Sub-Genre does the same, but for Genres. I want to cascade or limit my dropdown selection based on the higher-level section, i.e., if I select Fiction, only Fantasy and Sci-Fi will be shown as options from the Genre field. Google tells me I need to filter the relation before I add it, but that function seems to have changed, and the Filter functions within the Books DB won't allow the source for the filter to be from outside the Books DB. It appears it was possible to do what I want, but the process has changed. Here is my current test.
