Hello,

Please click on configure dictionary which is visible  in the above screenshot   and  once you click on it you will see a field called Type change it to "Choice" and save it

Please mark my answer correct if it helped you

But as per Product Document they didn't suggested to change Type to "Choice"

in community thread, they sugested to use max_ref_dropdown=300 in attribute field 

 why 300 ? i have around 1000+ groups , then how it will works ? if we put 300 will it show first 300 groups as per name(a-z) ?
