Describe the feature that you would like added

Hi,

Currenty the value attribute of Option element in Dropdown allows only string value so the ask is to allow it to accept number (integer) values as well. This will be helpful in scenarios where dropdown values are being used to showcase lookup field values where Text property hold the Title value of lookup field and Value property holds the ID of the lookup field as SharePoint returns Id as integer. in V8 key property of IDropdownOption used to allow both string and number values.

Hey @HarminderSethi, that feature is needed but unfortunately it's a breaking change. That could be addressed in a future major version.
