Description

Dropdown comes with a minimum width of 300 px. We are want to use this component for cases when the text options displayed do not require such width. Also multiple Dropdown components need to be stacked and it becomes visually clattered. For example:

It would be nice if there was the option to customize the size of the Dropdown.

Research direction

Start by locating the Dropdown component and the styling that enforces its 300 px minimum width. Check how component sizing is exposed elsewhere in the design system, then verify that a configurable narrower width works when multiple Dropdown components are stacked without disrupting their layout.
