Button menu component

Reduce the number of buttons on the screen with the button menu in the Method App Builder.

The button menu component allows you to collect buttons within it. It has a dropdown arrow which expands a menu with other button choices.

Creating the button menu is similar to creating a regular button, however, actions are required for each button menu item.
