How is your data set up? What tables do you have?

Probably the best way us to have the choice component write a value to a user specific column in the users table to store the current selection - then filter against that. You’d likely need some additional computer columns for the logic but should be easy enough.

One of @Robert_Petitto excellent videos should help. For example
