everything looks fine so may be an setting in the dropdown node.
What version of Node-red are you using? and Dashboard?
I have node red version v1.1.3.
node-red-dashboard 2.23.3
The flow:

May be your versions are to old. try updating dashboard to 2.29.0. If that does not work then you will have to update node-red.
also test this flow for possible workaround.

Hello @E1cid,
I want to extend the options with a second dropdown menu.
When I select product "ball" I want to select in another dropdown node the type of the ball.
This is the flow that I created::

.
Below are the options from a CSV file I want to choose from.
When I select product 'ball', I tried to use the string 'ball' in msg.product to use msg.product as a selector from the dropdown menu. But that doesn't works.
What am I doing wrong?
