Select a value from dropdown on mobile interface

If it's a feature baked into the mobile app, then nothing you write in your SAIL code would make any difference. If you want to confirm, it would be very easy to add a very simple dropdown (with, say, choices "A", "B", and "C") to that or any other test form and compare its behavior in the mobile app with what you're seeing here.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your answer. Indeed, I should not compare the behavior in the Designer with the behavior on the mobile device. But does it mean we consider as normal to click twice to select from a dropdown list? I am a bit sceptical. Anyway do you think this behavior comes from a mistake in my code (variable save, misuse of a parameter,...) or should I juste get use to it?

AFAIK the "designer in mobile" experience is mainly geared at representing what the on-form layout will look like (perhaps roughly) on a mobile target of that size, but can't 100% reproduce all of the functionality (particularly since different targets and/or different phone OSes will act differently depending on the component).
