 * hi, is it possible to make the dropdown select field not pushing other field 
   below it downwards? like other form plugins, the dropdown option will open on
   top of other fields below it.

 * Hi [@archonic08](https://wordpress.org/support/users/archonic08/)
 * I hope you are doing well.
 * This is a reported situation and our developers are already working on a fix.
 * Would be possible to send the form URL and we can create a CSS workaround for
   your form?
 * Best Regards

 * currently the form was set up on localhost. Do you have any generic css snipets
   so that I can hook it into the field custom css?
 * I had to enable the dropdown search function so that the select area can open
   ontop of other elements.

 * Hi [@archonic08](https://wordpress.org/support/users/archonic08/)
 * I’m afraid we don’t have any “generic” CSS for that.
 * One of the options would be to switch the form’s “Design Style” in “Appearance”
   settings to “None” as this changes the drop-down behavior exactly the way you
   want it to work but that would also remove other styling so you’d need to make
   adjustments in colors/fonts settings and, most likely, add a bunch of CSS additionally
   to make the form design suit your site better. But you can try it – it’s possible
   that form will actually “take over” some design from your theme (that mostly 
   depends on the theme itself).
 * If your form can’t be checked now and above is not an option, let us know, please,
   which Design Style are you actually using for the form (“default”, “flat”, “bold”,“
   material”?) – as set in “Appearance” settings – and we’ll try to come up with
   some basic solution.
 * Best regards,
    Adam

 * Hello, I have the same issue. I was trying to use the ”material” design style.
   Is there an update coming soon ?

 * I now use the checkbox system to avoid this issue for one of the forms. But i
   do have another form where the ”country” needs to be selected, and when the drop
   down menu shows up, it pushes down the rest of the boxes. Checkbox system doesn’t
   work here because there are too many options .

 * Hi [@komanndo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/komanndo/), thank you for 
   reaching out.
 * We don’t have a current ETA on that as we were working on other critical requests.
 * In any case, I was wondering if you could please start a new ticket and include
   the URL of your site so we can provide a CSS workaround for it.
 * Regards,
 * Jorge
