Add Rules to Non-Text Fields

Hello! I’m trying to make a web form where students choose their two elective courses with two dropdown fields. I want to prevent them from choosing the same course twice - is there a way to use one field to validate another when neither is a text field? I can’t find a way to do this in the regular template editor either, or with other non-text field types like radio buttons, and web forms don’t seem to support the hidden field workaround. Let me know if this is possible!

As a workaround, could you make the courses checkboxes but hide them until the users click “Choose Electives...” button?
