Selecting dropdown in sockets

[Praney Behl 314]

I have been trying to get to select dropdowns in sockets. No joy.

To what I recall from the last update it said the issue was fixed. Not sure if I am trying to do some wrong.

 

Ok the for Squi-d00, you know what. Its when creating a lenz, they ask ask to choose the category. Thats where I am stuck.

 

Anyone who has tried and was successful?

 

Thanks,

Sockets do not support javascript, Ajax, etc, etc It is a straight text based process, so if it's not standard html it probably won't work.
