You can most easily do this by Catalog UI policies. Second choice is client script.

You can use one of the method,

1. you can write a onchange catalog client script

Example: variable "A" depends on variable "B"

select field name: B

in the script section:

you can use below methods as per your logic

g_form.addOption(), g_form.removeOption(), g_form.clearOptions()

2. In case if you have more options, you can do as below

create custom table with columns (variable A field, variable B field,...etc)

select variable type of A is lookup select box

reference: custom table

reference query: javascript:"table=XXXX AND variable A column= value AND variable B column=" + current.variables.variable B;

3. -> create a choice list as below
table = catalog item
element = variable name
text = variable A choice lable
dependent = variable B

-> Create variable "A" as below

type: lookup select box

reference: choice list (sys_choice)

reference query: javascript:"table=catalog item AND element = variable name AND dependent=" + current.variables.variable B;
