![The Set Active Dropdown Index Node.](https://4263346935-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FLnh3x8s9fddWeG8TaAug%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-39ea467de9acd337c6adba4b500b3fda780fa041%2Fsetactivedropdownindexnode20241.png?alt=media)

The **Set Active Dropdown Index Node** sets the `Active Index` of a [**Dropdown Object**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2024.1/objects-and-types/scene2d-objects/gui/dropdown). The `Active Index` is the number representing the place in the **Dropdown Object's** order an `Option` is in.

[**Scope**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2024.1/overview#scopes): **Scene**, **Function**, **Prefab**.
