Options are not updated on slack external data drop down

[vasanthkanugo]

(Describe your issue and goal here)

The slack_bolt version

slack-bolt==1.16.1

Python runtime version

Python 3.9.10

OS info

Mac OS - Ventura - 13.1

Steps to reproduce:

@app.options(re.compile("(address_options)"))
def get_address_options(ack, payload):
    keyword = payload.get("value")
    autocomplete = get_maps_autocomplete(keyword)
    locations = [ location["description"] for location in autocomplete["predictions"]]
    options = get_maps_option(locations)
    print(f"options for {keyword} are {options}")
    ack(options=options)

Expected result:

Should show the updated options each time.

Actual result:

The following code snippet would call maps autocomplete function and get all the locations based on the keyword. Options work for the first pass but do not work when trying to search for long strings or clearing the string and retrying. The keyword does come through and Options are created based on the output but the options do not get reloaded on the drop down UI although the options are logged and created on each request.

Hi @vasanthkanugo, thanks for writing in!

One possible cause I can guess is that your app.options listener may take more than 3 seconds to respond the select menu items. In this case, the select menu items in the Slack UI won't be updated. Otherwise, the response data should work.
