How can I set up a scrolling drop down menu for many options?

I have two drop down menus on my store: one has 65+ options and one has 8 options. I would like the one with 65+ options to be set up with a scrolling menu, but the one with only 8 options would be fine as is. Any idea on how to resolve this?

That didn’t seem to work for me.

Thank you. That worked for the first drop down that had a lot of options, but now the second drop down has some excess blank space because there are fewer options. Is there any way to keep the second menu shorter? Screenshot below.

Hi!

Thank you very much, I was also looking for this but an d it makes the job one question: drop down menu can be scrolled by default on mobile, so how to make this code applying only for desktop? Your code is perfect on desktop but duplicates the scroll bar on mobile…

Thanks by advance!

I tried all the codes you said, but there is a menu with a long list in the menu bar in my store and the scroll does not appear.
