Hi, I've searched and it may be an oft known thing, but can the length of the dropdown be altered ?

Hi Cateleb,

 

I think we need more information on what you are trying to accomplish.

 

Why not attach a copy or a mockup of your database and a description with a little more detail of what you have now and what you are wanting to be your results.

change some wording

Hi Lee, attached is a screen of one of the dropdowns .. they all are about the same length and you have to scroll down to click on values further down .. I have about 3 dropdowns where there's only 2 or 3 more values than are showing and I was thinking if I could make the dropdown box a bit longer people wouldn't have to scroll

AFAIK, this is decided on the fly by the GUI, based on where the dropdown is and how much screen real estate is available - try it on a clean layout, and with different window sizes.

You could try using a popover with a portal instead. Then you'd have much more control.

hadn't thought of a portal / popover .. thanks bcooney, take away the borders etc .. works a treat
