How to focus an option without selecting it?

[jb41997]

I would like to set a default option when the menu opens. Meaning, I don't want the value set or selected, I simply want the menu to scroll to a specific option when initially opened. (ie: option list of 100 years, but I want to menu to open to 2023 without actually selecting it (firing the onChange event).

I have done ref.current.setValue() and ref.current.selectOption() when the Select onFocus fires, but those actually set the value and fire "onChange" (which again, I don't want to happen).

Apologies if I've missed something simple. Any help/thoughts?
