    I am not sure if I have understood your question correctly. Do you mean to say that you want to disable or uncheck the checked items from the configurable list widget?

    Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to conditionally disable or reset the selected options in fields of the configurable list widget. I would suggest you to please take a look at our "Input table" field and see if that fits into your requirement. It is also possible to add input field with different fields types in each column and the following guide should help you: https://www.jotform.com/help/567-input-tables-new-type-multi-type-columns/

    Hope this helps.

    Do get back to us if you have any questions.

    I mean to say that if you select one item from a configurable list, you should not be able to select the same item again just like in asmSelect widget.

    Unfortunately, we do not have such feature and it is not possible to prevent user from selecting the same option in another widget.

    I believe a possible workaround could be reading the configurable list widget specific field data and asmSelect widget data in another field or form calculation widget and then trigger a condition to check if both the value is same or not. If the values are same, you can display an error message.

    Please let us know if this workaround works for you, and we will try to create a demo form for you.

    We will wait for your response.

    I don't think you still understand what I'm asking. Imagine a configurable list with 3 items; A,B,C. User should be able ton select one or two or all the items one by one like the 1st image below. But should not be able to do add rows with the same item like in the 2nd image.

    Unfortunately, no, it is not possible to achieve your requirement in configurable list widget. It is not possible to restrict the user from selecting the same option in the other dropdown field of the configurable list widget.

    I do not see any other workaround to achieve your requirement apart from adding form calculation widget or condition to check the selection of dropdown field value and then adding condition to display an error message.
