Element: Dropdown
This element holds a menu. Clicking the element causes a scrolling list of options to open. Selecting an item will close back the dropdown menu.
Events
Dropdowns have a mouseUp event that can be configured using low-code. This event is triggered when the user selects one of the available options.
Low code
When changing the options property of a dropdown menu
using lowcode, you must use double pipes || to seperate the
label of the option and the value of the option.
LABEL 1||VALUE 1
LABEL 2||VALUE 2If the value of an option is empty, the label is also used as the value. You must use the Refresh Dropdown function to update the changes.
