Not sure if this is a limitation or a bug.

I’ve used the Dropdown element and created a component with properties, however, I can only pass the component properties to the elements inside the trigger. The properties aren’t accessible when trying to bind elements within the dropdown itself.

Any workarounds or fixes?

Can you try and see if the problem persist when you make sure that force display in editor is on? E.g when you are sure that the dropdown is visible
