Hello - I am relatively new to Nintex Forms (with minimal experience using Infopath) - I have a cascading dropdown box that is working well.  But what I would like to do is, once a selection from that box has been selected, I'd like it to disappear from the dropdown options.

 

Specifically, I have a list of customers I need to answer questions on.  The dropdown box has my (let's say) 10 customer names.  Once I've selected Customer #1, and have answered the questions, and have submitted the form, when I go back in to answer more questions on my customers, I'd like Customer #1 to have disappeared from the dropdown box, leaving me with 9 customers left to answer questions on.

 

Is this possible, and if so, any guidance/thoughts on how to achieve?  As I mentioned I'm relatively new to Nintex so any ideas would be appreciated!

Hi,

After the form is submitted have the workflow delete the customer from the lookup list.

Thanks for the suggestion - I actually was thinking along the same lines, but unfortunately I'm also quite new to Workflow. I played a bit with the Delete Item task, but didn't have any luck. If you can give a high-level description of exactly what you'd do it would be really appreciated! Thanks

Never mind I finally got the Delete Item action to work - thank you for the suggestion as that's the direction I was heading!
