Hi,

I am trying to put a field on a form which being created **dynamically** using msg.ui\_update.options  
I have field which is a drop down (using msg.ui\_update.dropdownOptions).  
This field is mandatory so marked 'required' as true.

How do i add a dropdown field which is of the type of Boolean ? And has true/false as the options.

Currently when i send an object to msg.ui\_update.dropdownOptions

The field is marked as required.

```auto
<object>.dropdown = <name of the drop down>;
<object>.value = true
<object>.label = 'true'

<object>.dropdown = <name of the drop down>;
<object>.value = false
<object>.label = 'false'

```

In above scenario - the dropdown shows true/false correctly - but user is unable to select false. Please suggest

I have seen/fixed a similar bug in other ui nodes. Please create an issue the dashboard repo, add a simple example flow. Then I will try to have a look at it.
