Dropdown widgets - cannot set labels after setting values

[eilzo]

Has your issue been reported?

• I have searched the existing issues and confirm it has not been reported.
• I give permission for members of the FlutterFlow team to access and test my project for the sole purpose of investigating this issue.

Current Behavior

There are two label-related issues with the drop down widget:

1. When creating a dropdown, once the options are set, the user cannot toggle 'Add Option Labels'.
2. If multiselect is enabled for a dropdown, there is a build error when trying to set labels for them.

Expected Behavior

• We should be able to toggle labels on/off whether or not values have been set for a drop down.
• We should be able to set labels for multi select widgets

Steps to Reproduce

Issue 1:

• Add a dropdown widget
• See 'Add Option Labels' toggle
• Add values to 'Define Options'
• See 'Add Option Labels' toggle disappear.

Issue 2:

• Add a dropdown widget
• Select 'allow multiselect'
• Add labels and values for drop down
• Build app

Reproducible from Blank

• The steps to reproduce above start from a blank project.

Hi @eilzo - Thanks for submitting the issue. I can reproduce the above point 2. But point 1 not fully clear. Can you please add more details around it ? so that dev team can consider all the points while fixing it. Thanks

Sure thing @hariprasadms!

• The toggle option 'Add Option Labels' disappears from the UI if 1) the toggle is currently set to false, and 2) the dropdown options values are set via a variable. This can be verified by setting the dropdown to be a random list of strings. This is the demonstration in the video.

• If 'Add Option Labels' is toggled true, and then the dropdown values are set from a variable, then the toggle button remains.
