## Feature(s) impacted

addAction and dropdown field with dynamic search (nodejs agent)

## Observed behavior

Dropdown with “dynamic” search doesn’t work when Row layout is used in the form.

This simple Action Form display correctly in the GUI, but when I type something to search in the field `dropdownWithDynamicSearch` I got a console error (see below) and options function is never called.

If I remove the Row component, everything works good

```javascript
        collection.addAction("Test bug", {
            scope: "Global",
            execute: () => {},
            form: [
                {
                    component: "Row",
                    type: "Layout",
                    fields: [
                        {
                            label: "anyOtherField",
                            type: "String",
                        },
                    ],
                },
                {
                    id: "dropdownWithDynamicSearch",
                    label: "Test",
                    type: "String",
                    widget: "Dropdown",
                    search: "dynamic",
                    options: async (context, search) => {
                           // async query never called
                    },
                },
            ],
        });

```

## Expected behavior

The options function must me called and options must be displayed
