MulitSelectDropDown - option to make selected not a list when in single mode

[rhurlbatt]

If multiple is not selected, it would be nice to be able to use this component as a regular dropdown. ie accept a single element and return a single element. This would have to be by option so that it doesn't mess with existing usage but would make data bindings a whole lot easier.

Unless I am missing some thing simple here so I don't have to always index the first element?

Sure - this makes sense to me. I guess I'd thought that it didn't really make sense use the MultiSelectDropDown without multiple ticked. But since multiple was an easy api addition I added it.

Another option - which might be the one to go with.
Include selected_value just like anvil's dropdown api.
This way it's backwards compatible. And would work with both multiple or not multiple

It can just return the first element from selected

One of the best things about this component in single mode is the ability to filter the list! I am currently replacing all my standard dropdowns with this.

Include selected_value just like anvil's dropdown api.

Agreed, this makes a lot more sense.
