I use DB2 for my small application dashboard. I use many dropdown list for that. I also use template to tune dropdown list and help user to recongnize input field needed. Here is one of the situation I get with @flowfuse/node-red-dashboard 1.24.0
If posting a flow in the future please see this post for the recommended method of posting it inline - How to share code or flow json
Your border and padding are messing up the layout. If you remove those then the dropdown sits in the correct place. You will have to inspect the DOM elements and adjust your template to match the slightly changed layout in the latest dashboard version.
