Dropdown list from another module

I have a module that creates a list of categories with a field for category id and category name. I would like to make another module that creates a list of segments with a field for segment id and segment name as well as a dropdown field to assign a category id from the previous module. How do I populate the dropdown field with data from the first module?

I’ve looked at this link but am unsure of it’s applicability nor do I have the proficiency to implement it. Could someone post a more detailed list of instructions to do this?

I’d add a one to many relationship between the category module and the segment module using studio. It wont give a dropdown per se, but it will give you a relationship field which will auto complete if you start typing the category name, and a button you can click to search and select categories.

Thats what I ended up doing, but if I have a third module that picks from within the 2nd module, it doesn’t retrieve data from the first module that the second is connected to. Is what I’m trying to do possible?

sorry I’m a little bit confused by what you are trying to achieve. Could you give an example
