Selecting Item Programmatically

[DeveloperUX]

I was trying to set the currently selected item in the Core Dropdown programmatically using selectedItem.

The code looks like this:

List<Item> items = toObservable( [
  {"id": "A", "name": "Apple"},   
  {"id": "B", "name": "Ball"}, 
  {"id": "C", "name": "Cat"}
] );
CoreDropdown dropdown = shroot.querySelector("core-dropdown");
dropdown.selectedItem = items[0].id;

Edit:
I believe the issue was closed. Last comment I read was to use dropdown.selected instead. I also tried that, but had the same issue.

The dropdown is changed to not contain a selector. You can nest a core-selector or similar if you need this functionality.
