Filling up one dropdown with same value of the other

Solution 1:

Since the question mentions... ...the other dropdown also automatically chooses the same value and this works both ways...

Try the following, ..

const leadStatusList = document.getElementById('leadstatus');
const leadStatus2List = document.getElementById('leadstatus2');

const setDropdownValue = (event) => {
  leadStatusList.value = event.target.value;
  leadStatus2List.value = event.target.value;
}

leadStatusList.onchange = setDropdownValue;
leadStatus2List.onchange = setDropdownValue;
