I want to remove widgets from the widget selector popup that are already on the dashboard. If I can interact with the widget selector popup, I’m sure I can do this. Is it possible to interact with the widget selector or is there another way to do this?

You can create a custom parameter in you Dashboard component called `totalAvailableWidget`, this should be the same as the `availableWidgets` in the Props of your dashboard component.  
Maybe you can copy and paste it.

Later, add this script to the Add Change Script to the **props.widgets** of the dashboard component.

```python
	available = self.custom.totalAvailableWidgets
	currentName = set([widget["name"] for widget in self.props.widgets])
	
	
	newAvailableWidgets = []
	for widget in available:
		
		if widget["name"] in currentName:
			continue
		
		newAvailableWidgets.append(widget)
		
		
	self.props.availableWidgets = newAvailableWidgets

```
