Anyway to hide certain column values from given set

Question

Hi SharePoint Online experts,

Seeking guidance in implementing logic to restrict/hide “Finalised” and “Final Draft” from Status selection list. It is a choice column.
ASK: only PowerAutomate should be able to set these values and user can only be able to set other 3 from drop down in SharePoint.

Options explored:

1. Customized form
   a. Drawback, it has to be implemented in all Document Libraries (there are around 8)
   b. Bulk Edit is also required that is not supported in Customized form (https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Can-t-Modify-Bulk-Edit-Form-in-SharePoint/td-p/714751). Probably SFX button required to cater it
2. List Validation
   a. getting user detail is not possible in list validation to allow only service account to assign those fields https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/689220/column-validation-with-username-and-date.html
3. using the Power Automate to temporarily set the field to Allow Fill-In values and then set it back when applying it.

Any other way to hide 2 field values in choice column for users to select?

Thanks in advance!!

Hi @Rakesh Sharma ,

Per my research, I found that it is possible to filter a single field with Power Apps by calling the filter function.
Here is a similar thread for your reference: Hiding one choice in a drop down column.

If you have any further questions, I suggest you go to the Microsoft Power Apps Community for better help.
