Editable grid view with dropdown

Next time please 

This code snippet returns the not selected items:

a!localVariables(
  local!services: {
    a!map(id: 1, name: "A"),
    a!map(id: 2, name: "B"),
    a!map(id: 3, name: "C"),
    a!map(id: 4, name: "D"),
    a!map(id: 5, name: "E"),
  },
  local!selectedServices: {2,4},
  index(
    local!services,
    wherecontains(difference(local!services.id, local!selectedServices), local!services.id),
    null
  )
)

When you wrap your dropdown into a separate a!localVariables, you can do that evaluation separately for each dropdown.

hello sir, this is what you mean to wrap down my drop down into a separate a!localvarariables? I'm encountering an error. I just need some recommendation. thank you

Yeah, I expected this to happen. I think the error message is pretty clear. You have to make sure that a drop down still shows the selected choice. You could add the id of the locally selected choice like this:

wherecontains(
  {
    difference(
      tointeger(local!service.id),
      tointeger(fv!item.serviceId)
    ),
    tointeger(fv!item.serviceId) /* This keeps the locally selected item in the list */
  },
  local!service.id
),

BTW, your code only removes the locally selected choice from all choices. I think you should remove the selections from all drop downs. I did not change this.

it works sir, but did not remove the selected value.
