I'm using custom container in R ShinyApp. Its currently having Sepal and Petal as headers that are both containing Length and Width columns. So is it possible to get a dropdown from Sepal/Petal for selecting/filtering Length or Width?
i.e. filter out the headers within headers.
I'm currently using checkboxGroupInput for this purpose but its not giving required results.
I have attached my codes as well. Can someone please sort it out. Thanks in advance

label = "Species:",
choices = c("All",
unique(as.character(iris$Species)))),
checkboxGroupInput(inputId = "columns", label = "Select Variable:",
choices =c("Sepal.Length", "Sepal.Width", "Petal.Length",
"Petal.Width"),
selected = c("Sepal.Length", "Sepal.Width", "Petal.Length",
"Petal.Width")),

server = function(input, output) {
