I I’m working on a project where users navigate through different pages, and I want to provide a seamless experience by autofilling a filter dropdown with relevant options based on what the user has clicked on in the previous page. I’m looking for a solution to temporarily store the data of what the user has clicked on so that I can access it in the next screen. I’m envisioning something similar to custom states in Bubble for those of you who are familiar. Is there a method or workaround to achieve this within the Glide platform? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!" ---

use a filter data option. Here’s what i did to my E-commerce concept app. 1. create 2 table for Main Category and Sub-Category ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/d/9d67ac4452beef8e402bdafb6949f349833c168a.png) 2. In Sub-Category table, I have a list of Sub-categories and Main Category column 3. In Main Category Table, I have a list of main category column, as well as relation column to Sub-category table 4. in layout form, I put 2 choice component for Main category(source will be Main category table) & Sub-Category (Source is sub-category table), turning off component for 2nd category until Main category has been chosen. 5. Once Main category has been chosen by user, Sub-Category component will appear, this is where I use “Filter Data” option for this component where Main category (of Sub-category table) is the same as what User has chosen On-Screen in the 1st choice component. the 2nd choice component (Sub-category) only shows a list of categories based on Main category. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/9/397a370f2cb1e6f5e65d5390dfd0d8849d829727.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/f/2f3a393fd72eb32ede221fadeed686139cee06e6.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/d/1d2d68d9c92423f85b8817741e70b13f7ead7a3e.png) ---

> [@Anas\_Bel](#): > > I’m looking for a solution to temporarily store the data of what the user has clicked on so that I can access it in the next screen On the way to your “last” screen, you can use a set column action in tandem with your action to open the item to set a value to the User Profiles row. Use those values accordingly in your choice component,
