I am having some trouble when setting up my dropdown functionality. I do not understand why is this since the widget itself accepts String: DropdownMenuItem I get the error:

type string is not a subtype of type DropdownMenuItem<dynamic>

I tried either to cast my value to String or dynamic like this: value: map["breed"].cast() or value: map["breed"].cast()

but nothing seems to work.

class DogForm extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _DogFormState createState() => _DogFormState();
}

class _DogFormState extends State<DogForm> {
  final todoController = TextEditingController();
  final List<DropdownMenuItem> breeds = [];
  String? _mySelection = '';
  final List<Map> _mybreedJson = [
    {
      "breed": "Cavalier King Charles Spaniel",
      "img":
          "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5f/CarterBIS.Tiki.13.6.09.jpg/220px-CarterBIS.Tiki.13.6.09.jpg"
    },
    {
      "breed": "Curly-Coated Retriever",
      "img":
          "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/58/Curly_Coated_Retriever.jpg/220px-Curly_Coated_Retriever.jpg"
    },
  ];

  void addToDo() async {
    if (todoController.text.trim().isEmpty) {
      ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar(SnackBar(
        content: Text("Empty title"),
        duration: Duration(seconds: 2),
      ));
      return;
    }
    await saveTodo(todoController.text);
    setState(() {
      todoController.clear();
    });
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {

    return Scaffold(

                  ]),
            )
          ],
        ));
  }

Future<void> saveTodo(String title) async {
  await Future.delayed(Duration(seconds: 1), () {});
  final todo = ParseObject('Todo')
    ..set('title', title)
    ..set('done', false);
  await todo.save();
}

Please! can somebody tell me how to make it work with a list like this?

_mybreedJson = [
    {
      "breed": "Cavalier King Charles Spaniel",
      "img":
          "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5f/CarterBIS.Tiki.13.6.09.jpg/220px-CarterBIS.Tiki.13.6.09.jpg"
    },
    {
      "breed": "Curly-Coated Retriever",
      "img":
          "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/58/Curly_Coated_Retriever.jpg/220px-Curly_Coated_Retriever.jpg"
    },
  ];

If you make Map map --> Map<String,String> map, maybe flutter show you where error is.
