I'm working on to make an options list in Controls with a filtered index by adding the filter at the upper left so that I can hide some selections.

However the filtered objects are still shown in the list and I found some similar tickets below.  
[#15958](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/15958)  
[#17301](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/17301)

Is there any workaround for this problem?  
I just want to hide the options from the list of Controls...

Hi @rashmi
