Unity - Dropdown scroll using controller or keyboard

I have a UI dropdown (Text mesh pro in my case, but should not matter). This dropdown works perfectly with my mouse, but if I try to select values using my controller/gamepad or my keyboard, it does not scroll to the selected value.

How can I get it to work as you expect when using a controller, i.e the scrollrect will follow the selected element.

 

I also have this problem, it seems Unity doesn't have a solution.

 

I also have this problem!

 

Did you check if the navigation on the sub-items is set to AUTOMATIC ?

 

Quick and dirty solution

Code (CSharp):

1. using System;
2. using Extensions.Unity;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.EventSystems;
5. using UnityEngine.InputSystem;
6. using UnityEngine.UI;
7.  
8. namespace UI
9. {
10.   [RequireComponent(typeof(ScrollRect))]
11.   public class ScrollRectAutoScroll : MonoBehaviour
12.   {
13.     [Tooltip("The UI/Navigate action used by controller and keyboard to use menus")]
14.     [SerializeField] InputActionReference navigateAction;
15.     /// <summary>
16.     /// The scrollRect attached to this component
17.     /// </summary>
18.     ScrollRect _scrollRect;
19.     /// <summary>
20.     /// All selectable items inside the scrollrect
21.     /// </summary>
22.     Selectable[] _selectables;
23.  
24.     public void Start()
25.     {
26.       _scrollRect = GetComponent<ScrollRect>();
27.       _selectables = GetComponentsInChildren<Selectable>();
28.       ScrollToSelection();
29.     }
30.  
31.     void ScrollToSelection()
32.     {
33.       GameObject selection = EventSystem.current.currentSelectedGameObject;
34.       if (!selection) return;
35.       if (!selection.transform.IsChildOf(transform)) return;
36.       if (!selection.TryGetComponent(out RectTransform rectTransform)) return;
37.       _scrollRect.ScrollToCenter(rectTransform);
38.       int index = Array.IndexOf(_selectables, rectTransform);
39.       if (index < 0) return;
40.       float target = 1f - (float)index / Mathf.Max(_selectables.Length - 2, 1);
41.       _scrollRect.verticalNormalizedPosition = target;
42.     }
43.  
44.     public void Update()
45.     {
46.       if (navigateAction.action.inProgress)
47.         ScrollToSelection();
48.     }
49.   }
50. }
