Bootstrap button drop-down inside responsive table not visible because of scroll

I solved myself this and I put the answer in scope to help other user that have same problem: We have an event in bootstrap and we can use that event to set overflow: inherit but this will work if you don't have the css property on your parent container.

$('.table-responsive').on('show.bs.dropdown', function () {
     $('.table-responsive').css( "overflow", "inherit" );
});

$('.table-responsive').on('hide.bs.dropdown', function () {
     $('.table-responsive').css( "overflow", "auto" );
})

and this is the fiddle

info: In this fiddle example works strange and I'm not sure why but in my project works just fine.


A CSS only solution is to allow the y-axis to overflow.

.table-responsive {
  overflow-y: visible !important;
}

EDIT

Another CSS only solution is to responsively apply the overflow based on viewport width:

@media (max-width: 767px) {
    .table-responsive .dropdown-menu {
        position: static !important;
    }
}
@media (min-width: 768px) {
    .table-responsive {
        overflow: inherit;
    }
}
