Topic: Dropdown closes when clicking inside it
Your docs previously showed a way to control how a dropdown closes in response to the user clicking. I still see the option on the Dropdown API page but the description for how to use it is gone from the main Dropdown doc page.
I see the API option is data-mdb-autoClose="string" but I can't get it to work. From your doc examples it looks like enclosing the clickable dropdown content in a parent and using form-control wrapped inputs prevents the dropdown from closing on an inside click but I would prefer to have direct control over this without adding an unnecessary form elements. Where do I put the autoclose setting in the HTML for the dropdown? I want to set it to "outside"
Hello, I prepared a working example demo for you right here. data-mdb-auto-close="outside" must be an attribute of an element where the data-mdb-toggle is defined

ah I see - I was guessing at what the name of the attribute needed to be since it wasn't on the docs anymore. I was using "autoClose" instead of "auto-close". Thanks!
