Dropdown menus not working on Mac?

Cause: This is due to a known bug in the Tableau Extensions API affecting how dropdown menus behave specifically on macOS.

Symptoms:

  • Dropdowns within the extension do not open or respond to mouse clicks

  • Users are unable to change dropdown values using the trackpad or mouse

Resolution: As a workaround, use your keyboard arrow keys along with the Tab key to navigate and change values in the dropdown menus.

🛠️ This issue is on Tableau’s side and may be resolved in future API updates.
