Cross-layer variables

Hi everyone :) 

I am working on a project where the user is looking at a form with pre-filled information. They have the option to click "Edit" on different fields which takes them to a new layer to make selections etc. 

I need it to do one of two things:

1. Drop down buttons on layer 3 change state of box on layer 2

or

2. Drop down buttons appear on layer 2, change state of box on layer 2 then scroll down box of buttons disappear when state of box changes.

 

Are either of these possible?

 

Thanks :)

    I'm not sure if that's what you are trying to do, but you can certainly create custom dropdown lists that when selected change the value of a variable. Maybe you can share a screenshot or .story file for more info.

    I can get it to work so long as the object that i am trying to change the state of is on the base layer. I have attached a really rough example of what i need it to do - imagine that there is a lot more on the pages and the layers are unavoidable :(
