ui-dropdown doesnt display selected value when sent via. msg

[SandeepAgarwal13]

Current Behavior

When i send msg.options with 10-15 options and also send msg.payload with desired selected value - it doesnt display the selected value always. I need to send the msg again with the same msg.payload again (with a minor delay) to ensure its reflected.

Expected Behavior

When msg.options and msg.payload are sent on the same msg - the node should reflect the selected value.

Steps To Reproduce

@joepavitt, I will have a look at this issue.

Thanks @bartbutenaers I suspect it's because we check msg.payload before msg.options, then realise there is no valid option (as they're not set yet), so disregard it.

Yes indeed, that was also what I was thinking. Should be a quick fix...
