Hello everyone,
we're facing a problem with the dropdown component used from Appian mobile, since it doesn't close the suggestions after pressing on the desired value but it requires the user to click back button. This UX is not very comfortable or intuitive for the end users.
Any suggestions for alternative ways for handling such a use case (other than using a picker). I am aware of this older thread with the same problem: Appian Community
Thanks in advance.

Alternative approaches mostly depend on the number of items in that dropdown. If that number is small, you could just use a radio button.
The number of items is around 500 so I wouldn't be able to use radio buttons. I'd generally have used a picker but it was suggested in the requirement not to do so.
500 items .... could you build a tree of categories and items to let the user navigate making a few clicks? How would a user find the correct item?
