I am trying to customize a dropdown in my self-created form but the selector is always invalid and doesn’t even seem to contain an element property like the rest (ie button, textInput, etc) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wix/original/3X/1/4/149b06c0fbfc7e26d839a273320e271637baafe4.jpeg) I’ve tried creating new dropdowns but they all have the same problem. I don’t have this issue with other dropdowns on other pages. ---

Same issue… Multiple pages & lightboxes, dropdowns and other elements have “red dot” error “… in not valid selector”. All this code was working fine yesterday. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wix/original/3X/0/4/04244c7139fc3f679836fa263cd46a4619fa96cf.jpeg) ---
