Hi there,
How about you set a filter on the second drop-down(Field Contracts) to only filter Field Contracts that are not Deactivated.
Steps to add a filter on the Field Contracts drop down:
1) Select Fields Contracts drop down->Right Click->Select Drop-down List Box Properties
2) Click on the xPath for Entries
3) Click->Filter Data->Add
4) Select Deactivated is equal to TRUE
Please see the attached screen shot.
Hope this helps!
Kind Regards,
