Hey guys. I am embedding something using inlinehtml field but it is causing ALL the standard/native drop down fields to not work. Have you faced this issue? Any solution?

my guess is that you are using an iframe, in which you need to do some dom manupulation

part of the dropdown related functions runs
```NLDropdown.prototype.initializeElements = function (a) {
  null == a &amp;&amp; (window.parentAccesible &amp;&amp; 'undefined' != typeof parent &amp;&amp; parent.NS.Window.getActive() &amp;&amp; (a = parent.NS.Window.getActive().content.contentDocument), a = a ? a : document);
  this.ddbtn = this.inpt = a.getElementById('inpt_' + this.nameC);
  this.hddn = a.getElementById('hddn_' + this.nameC);
  this.indx = a.getElementById('indx_' + this.nameC);
  for (this.span = this.inpt.parentNode; 'span' !== this.span.nodeName.toLocaleLowerCase(); ) this.span = this.span.parentNode;
  this.isSelectable() || (this.inpt.unselectable = 'on');
  this.elementsAreInitialized = !0;
  this.bInitialize = !1
};```

that includes functionality changing some properties of the dropdown to the parent windows element, which will likely not exist for your suitelet field

Thanks for your reply <@U5TF1GQ20>. I am not using iframe. But I will see if I can utilize this function.
My next step is to use iframe and see if it resolves the issue.

I think it's worth mentioning that the drop down with multiple options is working fine - which allows searching.
While the normal drop down for 4-5 options is not working.

<@U5TF1GQ20> it is causing the native/standard drop down fields to not work. all of them. Not the ones in my embedded view.

i had to guess because you have not shared enough information to reproduce the issue

I couldn't share more info due to the nature of this work. But I resolved it by embedding in suitelet and calling that suitelet in my iframe.
