Scroll to location within uidropdown

I have a uidropdown with a very long list of options. I would like to set it so that when a user clicks on the dropdown it automatically jumps to the currently selected value, rather than starting at the top and having to scroll every time. I have successfully done this with a uilistbox using the scroll command, but Dropdowns are not supported by that function. Is there a way to set the scroll position for Dropdowns?

Currently there isn't a way to programmatically scroll within a DropDown list.
Two workarounds could be to use a uilistbox or to use the ValueChanged function of the DropDown to put the selected item on the top of the list until another item is selected.
