Dynamic dropdown
Dynamic Dropdowns are input fields that fetch their list of options from an API or based on another field’s input. Unlike static dropdowns, which show a fixed list, dynamic dropdowns update in real-time, offering a flexible and powerful way to present relevant options to users.
Why Use Dynamic Dropdowns?
Show live data from your external app (e.g., contact lists, categories, status codes)
Reduce errors by offering only valid, current choices
Create dependent dropdowns (e.g., country → state → city)
