Hi Everyone,

I'm building a UI using Dashboard and I've run into a feature requirement I can't seem to find a drop in solution for.

Currently I have a Drop Down widget in my UI and it works but it's a real pain to click the drop down to open it. Items are added to the drop down list dynamically as the flow runs. I would like to either use a custom made Template to display a selectable list, or better yet just keep the drop down list expanded. I have already developed the flow so if I can just keep the dropdown expanded that would be the simplest solution. I have searched for CSS to accomplish this but haven't found anything.

Suggestions?
