Hi

I am trying to work out the best way to code a filter list so that if a tag from category is selected then the dropdown list in the category 2 dropdown will not show the tag that had already been selected in the first dropdown.

The hubl varible names for the two dropdowns are:

Any guidance would be appreciate.

Hey @Woodsy-- Thanks for your post!

I understand your goal is to exclude any drop-down options from subsequent drop-down menus if they were previously selected. Do you have a sample link for your module/page that you can share?

HubSpot has a great tutorial about setting up filters for HubDB [here](https://designers.hubspot.com/docs/tutorials/how-to-build-a-real-estate-listing-with-hubdb). If that does not cover what you are hoping to achieve, we can ask for some insight from some of our experts! @alyssamwilie, @erindigsmusic, @Indra Do y’all have any insight into conditional dropdown options based on previous selections?

Thanks in advance! 😊

Best,  
Kennedy
