Filter drop-downs based on class where it is used

Question

Hi M-Files, 
 I have potential use case where I have object type filled from the central database containing the set of values. 
 For specific classes however, I would need to show only a sub-set of those values. 
 Is there an option to filter it dynamically based where the built-in drop-down is used (e.g. based on the class)? Someone mentioned once Property Configurator, that it could use to filter dynamically drop-downs. I don't see it in M-Files catalog however. 
 Any ideas? 
 Thanks. 
 Dejan

You might consider making the value list a sub list of Class. Class is basically a built in value list, and it is possible to configure other value lists as sub lists to Class. This way you can then specify the relevant options for each class in the sub list.

Hi Sarah, 
 In Admin, Metadata Structure (Flat View) you can click on "Show All Value Lists" in the grey column. Then Classes will show up on the list. If you right-click on Classes and select Content, you will get an option to add new items in Content Categories for the selected class in the top half of the window
