You guys had the same question at the same time, that's weird. 🙂

> Using Ignition 8.1.14 I’m hoping that one of the CSS gurus on here can help me accomplish what I’m trying to do. None of the built-in properties of the dropdown component do what I’m after (ie props.dropdownOptionStyle.overflowWrap or wordWrap) What I’d like to achieve is for individual dropdown options to wrap the text of the option.label (grow vertically) rather than truncate the text. Current behavior: [image] Desired behavior: [image] Is such a thing possible with Perspective?
