Hello,
I have problems updating ui-dropdown by sending `msg.payload´.
The node is configured like this with NO pass trough to avoid a infinite loop.
If I send i.e. `msg.payload=10` to the node the dashboard isn't updated (should show "10 sek.").
If I enable `pass trough` the dashboard is updated but I get an infinite loop.
I expect the dashboard to be updated even when `pass trough" is off (like the text input node does).
Before digging deeper is this a expected behaviour?
