I would like to know if I can hide selected choices from a choice menu based on the selection of another choice menu. Example: I am creating a sports League App. When two opponents play each other I have a choice menu for each player with A, B, and C as options. If I select option A for one player, then Option A to be unavailable (hidden) for the other player. I realise you can show/ hide full components, but what I am after is to show/hide sub-components ---

You should be able to filter by the screen value of the other choice component. ---

Here is a screenshot. Selections are below players. For example if I select 3 from player 1 the I want to hide 3, MB and MS from Player 2 this leaving only option 0 or 1. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/5/75e1f7b816e0fb02be9e25ec37ac19e3dfdd76ef.png) ---

I probably should put a reset field button in there somewhere… ---

I also think the filter will hide the whole choice component not just individual selection. ---

What about creating buttons instead or creating a validation rule to ensure only valid entries are submitted? ---

Visibility would hide the entire choice component, but a filter can filter the list of choices within that choice component. Again, you should be able to filter one choice component based on the screen value of the item chosen in another choice component. ---

Cheers, I will give that a try.
