Set UI Drop Down value by string instead of index?

[Silicon Power]

Hi Play Maker has an action to set UI Drop Down Set Value but I need to set value by string value not index! Is there any way for this?

Hi.
You can have an array with the strings and get the index from there.

in code a dropdown is using index.

So you would do the same thing in code :
