Hi @stumur ,
I hope you’re doing well, and no worries about asking, as we are here to help.
I’m afraid that that’s the normal Formiantor behavior, anyway, you can use the custom CSS option under appearance to add CSS and make it bigger – https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#custom-css
In case it’s needed, you can also add a custom CSS class under the “styling” when editing the Select/dropdown field.
Please note that providing custom CSS is out of the scope of our support, but adjusting the max-height of the list options ul element.
I hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Williams Valerio

Thanks for the reply Williams. I’m afraid my understanding of coding only extends to copying and pasting in bits of code into the custom css area. I’m not clever enough to understand how to put together the actual code you suggested. Thank you anyway.
Hi @stumur
I hope you are doing well today.
Please note that by default, this is not possible, and this will be outside the scope of support to provide such a thing. For that, you’ll need to hire a developer to provide the required custom code for you. WordPress provides a jobs directory here https://jobs.wordpress.net/
However you can do this on your own.
The CSS selector for dropdown is:
.select2-container ul
and for that selector you need to change max-height to something bigger:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/max-height
with important rule:

Omg.. Kris! You are a total champion.. thank you!! I mucked around for hours with your info and I finally came up with a code thing of
.select2-container ul {
max-height: 100% !important;
}
I stuck it in the css area and shock:horror it worked! It’s probably wrong but it seems to be happy atm. One weird thing – any percentage figure whatsoever that I use whether it’s 10% or 100%, seems to give exactly the same result –> fully dropped-down/expanded boxes, which is what I wanted, but I figured the percentage I used would reflect in the dropdown size, but seemingly not. Anyway, THANK YOU so much mate. Fingers crossed this is correct!
