Can relevance be used to determine options listed in a select field?

Can the Q2 select options be customized depending on the answer to Q1?
Question1 is a select1 list of 3 departments. Question2 is a select
multiple field named Activity.

For example, all departments will show 3 basic activities (Training,
InternalMeeting, BottleWashing ). But if the answer to Q1 is Research
Department, the activities list will be 5 items (previous 3 + Formulating,
Testing). Each of the 3 departments will have a customized activities list
(3 basic items + n)

So here's the question. I don't see way way to use relevance to create a
single field named Activity that has a modified list of options based on Q1.
All I can think of is separate Activity1, Activity2, Activity3 fields, each
one displayed via relevance statement to Q1 answer, but that makes queries
on Activity more cumbersome.
Is it possible to push the answer to Activity1, 2 or 3 into a single
"Activity" field???

I'm created xml on Build.
Thanks all for help on this. I am usually a silent reader/observer/learner
here. Very helpful community.

Thank You!
This is exactly what I was looking for
Unfortunately, the modifications our team has made to Collect are not
supporting the choice_filter function

Passing this to our programmer
And will ask him to look at annotation of images too, another cool feature
I'm jonesing for...

Best regards,

Check out cascading selects and choice_filters.

Need help customizing Survey Instruments/Tools/Forms for ODK Collect? Drop
me an email.

It should be noted that Q2 cannot be displayed on the same screen as Q1
(i.e., via a group with appearance="field-list").

The list of select choices are determined at the time the screen is laid
out.

So if you display both Q1 and Q2 on the same screen, then Q2 cannot be
dependent upon the value selected for Q1.
