How can I change the number of items that appear in my dropdown, or the height of the dropdown, to show more items before the scroll wheel displays?

You can't, at the moment, but there's a ticket actively being worked on to add min and max height properties to the dropdown. Earliest possible delivery would be 8.1.26.

The current work around is to add this CSS to the stylesheet.css file under `Styles` in perspective designer. It sets the dropdown list to 80% of view height, but could be changed to pixel count.

```auto
.iaDropdownCommon_options_modal>div:first-child {
    max-height: 80% !important;
}

```
