Multilevel dropdown in a form: Javascript, Bootstrap

I have a form in which a field named 'Protein Change' has a multi-level dropdown, if a user clicks on an option in the dropdown(eg, CNV->Deletion), the option should be selected and shown in the field. However, currently it's not being able to do so.

I have used bootstrap and Javascript. Can I use onclickevent() for the click event to happen and show the data corresponding to it?

 $(".btn-group, .dropdown").hover(
        function () {
            $('>.dropdown-menu', this).stop(true, true).fadeIn("fast");
            $(this).addClass('open');
        },
        function () {
            $('>.dropdown-menu', this).stop(true, true).fadeOut("fast");
            $(this).removeClass('open');
        });
.dropdown-submenu {
            position: relative;
        }

        .dropdown-submenu> a:after {
            content: ">";
            float: right;
        }

        .dropdown-submenu>.dropdown-menu {
            top: 0;
            left: 100%;
            margin-top: 0px;
            margin-left: 0px;
        }

        .dropdown-submenu:hover>.dropdown-menu {
            display: block;
        }

Dropdown menu is not behaving like select so you need to manually change text of #dLabel.

In jQuery you can do something like:

$(".dropdown-item").click(function() {
  let text = $(this).text();
  $("#dLabel").text(text);
});

Full example here https://jsfiddle.net/pg8wsx16/
