Isolating interactions on Select Menu’s

Hello friends! Looking for some guidance and did not get too far online Setup: I have a Select Menu and a Button in a global channel that users can interact with When the user selects an option, it is stored to a variable. The button is used to “confirm” the selection (UX 🤷‍♂️) Code for posting the embed is in our Bot OnReady event Code for handling is in a separate InteractionCreate event handler Issue: All works except when another user interacts with the Select Menu, it effects the choice for a different user when they click confirm. My assumptions: I am trying to use a Component Collector with filter, however, adding this to the interactioncreate seems to only create a collector after the user has already interacted Or, does it make sense to create a map with discordID: selected option and look for this on button click? I can post code and screenshots if needed for better context. TIA 👌

• What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version? • Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part! • Show your code! • Explain what exactly your issue is. • Not a discord.js issue? Check out #useful-servers.

You have to attach it to the message that contains the components

Does that also include each reply with new components? For anyone who might stumble on this thread, I managed to get this working as below (now, other use interactions do not disrupt selections). Note: I will leave this open temporarily in-case there is some bad practice here or something that could be better handled: Summary: 1. I have nested component collectors for each reply with new components 2. Instead of saving selected value to a global variable on Select Menu click, I am accessing the map of the collector to get the Select Menu selection embedHandler.js

module.exports = {
    name: Events.InteractionCreate,
    async execute(interaction) { 


    if(interaction.type == InteractionType.MessageComponent) {
        if(interaction.customId == 'view-shop') {   

            const packs = await Packs.find(); 
            const select = new StringSelectMenuBuilder()
            .setCustomId('cards')
            .setPlaceholder('Select a Card Pack!')
            .setDisabled(false)
            packs.forEach(item =>
            select.addOptions( 
                    new StringSelectMenuOptionBuilder()
                    .setLabel(item.packName)
                    .setDescription(`A ${item.packTier} Card Pack. Price: ${item.packCost} Gold`)
                    .setEmoji('🃏')
                    .setValue(item.packId),
