    Dropdown Filter Only Works After Clicking On It?

    I can't seem to filter out unwanted items from a dropdown on a page when it loads. I'm passing the dropdown recID via shared result I want to omit from the dropdown options. I can get the undesired value to go away but only after clicking on the dropdown. Can't I get the dropdown to filter on page load?

    What am I missing?

    Thx

    Drop down filters are applied against the list when your open the drop down.  I tried a few ways to pre-filter that list and I'm not sure you'll be able to pull the results of a filtered drop down.  You could try to add an action to the drop down text change action and call that on page load - this might trigger the filter but I still think you'll run into the same results.  

    I'm going to test this on my local account and respond back if I find a work around for you.
