Hello,
I am piping in a make of a car into my distribution file (contact file) for email survey. We have 40 makes of cars and need to know the model of the car the customer is driving. I was hoping to use the drill down and present to them the models of the cars based on the make we already know. Example: Based on your Jeep purchase what model below do you drive? A. Cherokee B. Limited... etc. A dynamic list for up to 10 models. I can not find an efficient way of doing this other than the drill down but that requires they select the model and we do not want that experience. Can this list be populated by JS by chance using the embedded data value? Thank you for any help!

Yes, you can use a drill down and select the Make automatically with JS. You can hide the make drop down so the only drop down that shows is the model. To make it easier you could also have the choice id of the make be an embedded data field (e.g., makeId). Then to select it:
jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" select").eq(0).val("${e://Field/makeId}");
