Show Dropdown input options when selecting parent group

[lien4888]

I currently have a Dropdown input wrapped within a Group container. Is there a way to show the dropdown’s options when clicking on the parent group container?

For context, the drop down options only show when the dropdown is clicked but not when I click on the icon or the outer group. Is there a way to set up a workflow that will show the dropdown’s options when its parent group is clicked?

Hey @lien4888

There are no option for that with the native dropdown menu.
Unfortunately, unlike the input element, the “set focus” option do not show options on the dropdown.

If you want to make a custom dropdown group, you should make it with a focus group. It’s a bit more complex, but this way you will also have more flexibility for showing and designing your choices list.

In your case, click on your “G Select Board” will open the group focus. On your group focus, put a repeating group with your choices. On click on you choice, close the focus group and push the choice to your “G Select Board” via display data to group.

Thanks! I was afraid that there wasn’t an easy solution to this and was trying to avoid the complicated route, but it looks like I don’t have a choice. Thanks for your help!
