Hello,i want to make a dependant combo boxes,where i basically choose 1 option from combobox1 and that option has its own set of options in combobox2. here,when i choose "Roman" from combobox1,i want it to populate other combobox with my already made list.
i keep searching and even though there are some explanations,i can't seem to make it work in my code.

I'm glad it helped :)

In the future, it is a good habit to refer to the Qt documentation. There you can find all the information you need about the methods and signals that are available for the widget you are working with.

In this case: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qcombobox.html#signals
