Description
Hi
This dropdown :
{
type: 'dropdown',
source: ['<', '>'],
}
can't be copy/pasted because < goes to clipboard and is not recognized as a valid value.
If defined as source < and other value type like \x3c (UTF-8) aren't displayed once set.
Using Jsuite format {value: '<', text: '<'} doesn't seem to work.
Is there a workaround ?
Thanks

Research direction
Reproduce the dropdown using source values '<' and '>' and try copying and pasting them, then compare this with HTML-entity and Jsuite-format values. Trace the dropdown's copy/paste and value-display handling; done means the values can be copied, pasted, and displayed correctly, or the supported workaround is documented.
