This will show the validation error above the field (enabled)Border, remove lines 46-51 and add this line to InputDecoration config:
decoration: InputDecoration( errorText: state.errorText, ...
I used the same but I am getting error text but when I want to select the dropdown list item, I am unable to see and select the dropdown list.
