Is there a way to have options wider than the width of the s

Topic: Is there a way to have options wider than the width of the select box?

Expected behavior

I am looking to have the select options width be that of the option with the greatest length so the user can read all of the text (image shown below)

enter image description here

Actual behavior

Instead, the options are cut off and aren't visible to the user

enter image description here

Is there any way to do this with the current mdb Select?

Hi,

You can try adding this to your CSS

.select-option-text {
   overflow: hidden;
   overflow-wrap: break-word;
   width: 100%;
   display: inline-block;
   white-space: pre-line;
}

and then add something like data-mdb-option-height="100" to your Select element. Or the second solution would be to set the options dropdown width with:

.select-dropdown-container {
  width: 200px!important
}

Keep coding,
Dawid

Thank you for the reply. The first option did not work for me but the second option using width: auto !important; worked as needed.
