How can I make it so that only one dropdown item is expanded at a time in Webflow?

To make sure that only one dropdown item is expanded at a time in Webflow, you can use the built-in Interactions feature. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:

1. Select the dropdown menu element on your Webflow canvas.
2. In the Interactions panel, click on the '+' button to create a new interaction.
3. Choose the trigger option that suits your needs. For example, you can set it to trigger on a click or hover event.
4. In the "Affect different elements" section, click on the '+' button to select the element(s) that should be affected by the interaction. In this case, you'll want to target the dropdown item(s).
5. Choose the appropriate action, which would be to hide or show the dropdown item(s) based on their initial state.
6. Adjust the animation settings if desired. For instance, you can use a smooth transition effect when showing or hiding the dropdown item(s).
7. Make sure the interaction is set to affect the targeted element(s) only by selecting the "Limit to siblings with the same class" option. This ensures that when you interact with one dropdown item, it won't affect any other items outside of its group.
8. Repeat the above steps for each dropdown item that you want to control independently.

By following these steps, you'll be able to achieve the desired behavior where only one dropdown item is expanded at a time. This enhances the user experience by providing a more streamlined and intuitive navigation.

Key points to remember:

• Webflow's Interactions feature allows you to create custom animations and interactions without writing code.
• You can set triggers such as clicks or hovers to initiate these interactions.
• When affecting multiple elements, make sure to select the "Limit to siblings with the same class" option to control only the desired items.
• Adjust the animation settings to create a smooth transition between showing and hiding the dropdown items.

Good luck customizing your dropdown menu in Webflow!
