Dropdown

‌Dropdown is used to capture user input/s from a specified list of permitted inputs. A Dropdown can capture a single choice as well as multiple choices

Filtering Data
A Dropdown can be used to filter a dataset based on users input. The selected option value can be passed to an API using{{ dropdownName.selectedOptionValue }} for single select Dropdowns and {{ dropdownName.selectedOptionValueArr }} for multi select Dropdowns.
Form Submission
Dropdown widgets can be used to capture from a fixed set of options inside a form such as gender, role, status. 
Some forms need to be pre-filled data from a table or API. We can bind the data to the default text property to enable this
{{ Table1.selectedRow.gender }}
/**
* Binding this to the default option will update the selected option 
* of the dropdown with the gender of the selected row in Table1
*/
