 I need conditional profile fields to be added to the default BuddyPress
 template: a drop-down select boxes, depending on what is selected, a
 second dropdown select boxes should appear to let user select, then
 depending on what is selected for the second, a third dropdown select
 boxes should appear, and in total, I need four layers of these conditional
 profile fields.

 For example, the first drop-down could be states(Arizona, California,
 Texas etc.), then depend on what user selects, the second dropdown
 displays the towns in that selected state, so if the user selected
 ‘California’ in first dropdown, a set of towns in California will be
 available in the option list for the second dropdown; if the user selected
 ‘Texas’ in first dropdown, a set of towns in Texas will be available in
 the option list for the second drop down, and so forth…

 These nested/conditional profile fields will have many applications for
 creating larger websites, not just location related sites...

 It would be great if next release of BuddyPress could come with this
 nested profile fields, and in addition, a functionality that allow admins
 to create initial groups based on certain user profile fields -which seems
 very nature. And as a social networking platform, these functionalities
 should come from the core of software, not from Plugins - as many group
 related plugins will be depending on these functionalities to make
 themselves sophisticated enough to make user experience more fullfilled.
