    Hi @roncam82 ,

     

    I'm afraid that is not available. Please consider using canvas app's native dropdown control.

    In addition, you can create a new idea through the below URL, then ask  your colleagues to raise up the votes.

    The  product team has direct visibility of these ideas and they will implement it on the basis of the highest number of votes received.
