    so basically i made a script like this:
    Code (CSharp):
    1. public Dropdown drop
    and i put code on the canvas and i tried to put a dropdown in the variable and it didn't work
    demo:

    import drpdn.unitypackage into an empty project and try dragging the dropdown into the dropdown area on the canvas script

    Without looking in the package, are you mixing up TMP_DropDown and regular Dropdown?

    It's just two different libraries that came out many years apart from each other.

    Please don't use the 2D forum for UI questions. There are dedicated UI forums available.

    I'll move your post.
