Keep dropdown menu states between scenes

I’m using the new dropdown menu UI and is there a way to keep the state of the dropdown menu between scenes?

For instance, I selection “option 2”, go to another scene, go back to the scene with the dropdown it resets to “option 0”. How do I keep it at “option 2”?

Thank you.

Really what you need is to learn about persistence in data. This tutorial will get you well on the way.
