In the wizard edit, tab "Preview" I added two dropdown boxes from the "Basic Elements".
In the general tab, the first with field name and field id ="source_1".
In the 'Options' field, I've got two selection pairs:
selection_1=Selection 1 selection_2=Selection 2
I did not alter anything in the other tabs (as for example "Dynamic Data").
The second drop down box from the "Basic Elements" has field name and field id = "target_1".
The "Options" field is empty as the options are generated with the "Dynamic Drop Down"-Action in the tab "Events".
Don't forget to go to the "Dynamic Data"-tab here and set it to "yes".
Finally I added the "Dynamic Drop Down" Action (see the "Events" tab of the Wizard) and placed it above the entry of "Show html".
Source Dropdown ID = "source_1" (as the field id of the first dropdown box).
Target Dropdown ID = "target_1" (as the field id of the second dropdown box).
The "Extra options extension" I filled with:
selection_1:section_1a=Value1,section_1b=Value2,section_1c=Value3,section_1d=Value4,section_1e=Value5 selection_2:section_2a=Value1,section_2b=Value2,section_2c=Value3,section_2d=Value4,section_2e=Value5
Please be aware that "selection_1" and "selection_2" are exactly the entries of the Options field of the first dropdown.
For me it worked like this - good luck for you! :-)
