Expected behavior
I would like to view a flag icon along with text in a select drop down option
Actual behavior
Flag icons do not show in a select drop down option
Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.)
Something like this:
<option value='+1' selected ><i class='us flag'></i> US (+1)</option>

Would be great, if it worked. I guess, that dropdowns for language or country selection are a very common thing.
Best,

Hello belu,
Unfortunately, this is not supported yet, but as long as it seems valuable functionality to have, I created an appropriate feature request. Thank you for your question.

Hi @jimscottjr,
You can use icons in Select in this way:
<option value="1" data-fas="star">Option 1</option>
But unfortunately it will not work with flags.
Best,
