Problem
As Blockly Guide mentioned:
The dropdown field stores a string as its value and a string as its text. The value is a language-neutral key that will be used for accessing the text and will not get translated when Blockly is switched between languages.
However, consider below code:
When sound.name is SOUND_RECORD, the validator appears to be called repeatedly. I'm not entirely sure of the best fix, but a few possible approaches might include escaping special strings or restricting their appearance in certain places. It could also be worth considering whether allowing the value to be a Symbol or a callback function might help — though I'd love to hear if others have better ideas or if I'm misunderstanding something about the intended behavior.
