I'm trying to achieve something like below.
the problem we are facing:
The problem I'm having right now is that the dropdown menu is hidden inside the container instead of appearing on top of the parent level.
What I tried:
I tried position:absolute and it works great for putting the list on top of each parent.
On the other hand, an overflowed dropdown will retain its position at its set location rather than following its dropdown label.
Therefore, position:relative is required.
Can someone provide some clarification on this?
Thank you for your help.

I couldn't copy your html and css so I created my own, if it doesn't match your query please let me know and I will adjust
