How to use hint_content from Dropdown?

[ClearSafety]

Question

I'm studying the Dropdrown control and realized that the hint_text works normally to provide user a hint about what to do with the field, but hint_content simply doesn't do anything.

Code sample

def main(page: ft.Page):
    page.add(
        ft.Dropdown(
            value=None,
            options=[ft.dropdown.Option(text=item) for item in range(5)],
            hint_content=ft.Text(value='Select an option'),
        ),
    )

ft.app(target=main, view=ft.AppView.WEB_BROWSER)

Error message

No response

It's a bug! Sorry for that.
It has been fixed in #3638 and will be part of the next version.

icon_content doesnt work too?

[ClearSafety]

No.
With this:
import flet as ft
def main(page: ft.Page):
page.add(
ft.Dropdown(
value=None,
options=[ft.dropdown.Option(text=item) for item in range(5)],
icon_content=ft.icons.ADD

    ),
)

ft.app(target=main, view=ft.AppView.WEB_BROWSER)

I got what you see attached.

icon_content is of type Control. So you can do something like ft.Icon(ft.icons.ADD)

You're right, my bad.
But even so, it doesn't work and it displays a grey screen.

import flet as ft
def main(page: ft.Page):
page.add(
ft.Dropdown(
value=None,
options=[ft.dropdown.Option(text=item) for item in range(5)],
icon_content=ft.Icon(name=ft.icons.ADD)
),
)

ft.app(target=main, view=ft.AppView.WEB_BROWSER)

You are right, sorry.
It has also been resolved in that PR. Sub to it.
