Hey Adalo Community! 👋 I’m excited to share a new component that’s now available on the Adalo Marketplace: ## Advanced Dropdown ![advanced-dropdown-hero-banner](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/3X/0/8/087f4e87050b1560353bbd3b7beea4396e69e29e.jpeg) **A fully styled dropdown connected to any collection — with Magic Text default and form value output** Connect to any Adalo collection, choose which field to display as the label, and set a default selection via Magic Text. The selected value is available as a Magic Text output for forms, actions, and filters. ### Key Features ✅ Binds to any Adalo collection — pick any field as the display label ✅ Set a default selection via Magic Text (e.g. Logged In User \> Category) ✅ Selected Value output — use in forms, actions, and conditional visibility ✅ On Select action fires on every pick — update the database without a Save button ✅ Separate icons for open and closed states — or hide the arrow entirely ✅ Font weight, font style, and font size controls ✅ Accent color controls border, checkmark, and open-state arrow together ✅ Bottom sheet on iOS/Android, inline dropdown on Web ✅ Works on Web, iOS, and Android ### Perfect For • Category or status selectors on forms • Country or region pickers pre-populated from the user profile • Dynamic list filters driven by the selected value • Role or permission pickers on settings screens • Event type selectors that show or hide form sections ### How to Get It 1.

Just a heads up to people using this, it needs to be arranged to sit at the front of all components otherwise it won’t display. ![Screenshot 2026-05-28 at 18.54.07](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/3X/8/9/895790366e39819b583fa3cbd4dbfc04e89d2f1a.png) ---

Question, is there a way to make the dropdown list closer together - not so spread apart from each in the list? padding? Not a professional developer so any input is greatly appreciated. Liz ---

Yes, working now thanks. There are some inconsistencies with some of the new components UI though… Multiselect dropdown fades in and is central to the screen, whereas the Advanced dropdown slides up from the bottom. With the slide up, the slightly darker background of the screen slides up with it. Because the background isn’t there instantly, visually it’s not as good Advanced dropdown component can be resized both vertically and horizontally, multiselect can only be resized horizontally. Multi select dropdown includes divider between items, not there in the Advanced dropdown. Multiselect is no longer scaling for me \*edit - not scaling on any screen Thanks ---

@IFIOgirl, new option for padding should be available! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/3X/8/9/890d0be63de46a42c2522538324c8df2a0ee1e93.png) * * * @diegozane, 1. Advanced Dropdown transition issue should be fixed now! But seems like the box display is not quite good and shared with the team. 2. Multi-Select Picker can be resized vertically now! 3. Multi-Select Picker now supports divider! (Bonus - Hover color change) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/3X/2/f/2fae02ec1d657f43e6d7eea470e33c4fef64ffb6.png) 1. Multi-Select Picker should scale properly in the screens now! 2. Some other addons: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/3X/7/e/7e629b44a226e45d71d1cbc00af3b52c3bb5e073.png) Thank you and have a great day! ---

Is there a new setting I have overlooked that will put the items being filtered back up and hugging the dropdown bar as seen in my first image? Liz ---

yes. for me personally the problem is solved since Pour Recall will be a mobile app. and not a web app. but yes, as of 7:40 am central time the staging preview still has a gap. I appreciate your hard work. This is a definite upgrade from the previous dropdown component. Liz ---
