Change value of dropdown from variable?

Is there a way to change the value of a dropdown box using an App State variable? Initial Option Value does not work for this.

Here's my situation. I have a dropdown that contains A, B, and C, which are names in Firebase. If I currently have B selected, and then I change the name of B in Firebase, the dropdown automatically changes to the Hint Text. I would like to select this new name in the dropdown.

For some reason, dropdowns don't have a Value parameter like Labels. Is there another way to approach this?
