dropdown external api rest

[YasmanyGalvis]

Hello, I have a question, I need to put a dropdown in the form, the values should be loaded from an external api rest, in the new form it is not a problem, I am already consuming the api and setting the values in the dropdown, the problem is in the form to edit, how can I set the value again in the dropdown considering that the value is in the json stratusformsData, is it possible to do this without modifying the library? or to achieve this I must modify the core of stratusforms in some way, someone could guide me on the most convenient option, thank you very much.
