Hi @VaibhavShinde 

Here are some possible options:

1) Create a service that does the filtering and output only the desired items. Then bind the ouput of this service to the dropdown menu

2) Use the StateField of the dropdown widget. to use this you can for example add a property state to the ThingTemplate with default value enabled, then set it to disabled for the item you want to disabled.

Note that this will only disable the item, that is it won't be selectable but it will still be shown.

Hope this helps
