    Hi, I just want to find out. if there is a way to make the dropdown list take out an option if it was already selected on the same day?

    Thanks!

    Hello JoaneMarlet,

    Unfortunately, there is no such option to set a limit in the configurable list widget. 

    A workaround would be to use our widgets such as the Appointment Slots to be able to set a limit.

     Hi Welvin,

    I mean, once on a certain date, one of the options in the dropdown list has been selected already, in the next form that will be submitted, that option will not show anymore. 

    Ex. Employee has filled out the form selecting Project 1 and submitted on 6/11. Then, the same employee or another employee will fill out the form the same date, they will no longer see Project 1 and instead will see the rest of the options that are not previously selected yet. All these on the same date. Then the next day, all options will show and then the same process all over again.

    Is there a widget that can do that? We are aiming to avoid duplication in the reports/daily updates we receive.

    Thank you.

    Thank you for the additional information. Unfortunately, we still do not have this option or a widget.

    I believe this has been requested in the past, so allow me to add this request to the ticket list. Unfortunately, just like the other tickets, we cannot provide you with an estimate as to when this feature will get implemented but as soon as we have an update, we will let you know through this thread.

    A workaround, in the meantime, would be to use one of the given widgets and then increase the number by 1 every day. I understand this is a time consuming process, but this would work for your form or field requirement.
