Please add an out-of-the-box Form Input component for a DropDownList
One thing we end up doing quite a bit of writing custom Kendo Form components. A lot of these seem like they could exist out-of-the-box. For example, it'd be nice to have a DropDownList as a Form Input, without having to code the custom component for it.

Hello, Ryan,

Thank you for the suggestion we will monitor the interest in it and plan it accordingly.

Also, in the meantime, please check our React Form Guidelines and more specifically the file in the demos called form-components.jsx. There we have made many reusable components that everyone can get an incorporate in their applications:
