When you have a form with Drop Down menu / Autocomplete fields with autolayout, the layers list order determines the position of a layer in your form, not the elevation

So when you click to dropdown the field, the dropdown goes - in the back of the below layer

The way I find to hack that is creating kind of a Position Absolute Wrapper for each line and then reorganize the layers to make that appear on front

This is so weird and tricky and takes a lot of time everytime I have to do this.

I believe a simple Elevation zIndex Control when is set to autolayout would solve that for us

Please, Figma!

The way Figma now arrange layers layout is - what is below is above

Hi @Renan_Malato

Glad you solved it this way, because the only way to solve it is like what you mentioned above (at least as I know till this moment).

I hope Figma considers this suggestion. Try sending it to them by email ✅
