Multi-Level (grouped) Custom Properties

I would like to be able to manage custom properties in a grouped manner.

As an example, I tag each node with:

Network/system
Zone
Site (Engineering) Number
Device Subset

When populating custom properties for a node, when I choose the network, I would like to see only the network related zones values, and when I specify the Site Number, I would like to see only Site Number related values for this Network & Zone in the drop-down list. I currently have to scroll down all the sites which has over 200 values.

This kind of logic is similar to the one used for Node Grouping.Having this feature would minimize the risk of human error and be a first step toward a cleaner inventory.

This would be a great feature!

My similar use case is for City and Address custom properties.
I often use drop down lists and it is a bit unlogical to see Address, which does not exist in particular City.
