Does Flutter DropdownMenu support helper and error text (like DropdownButtonFormField's decoration)?

Question

I'm trying to implement the new Material 3 DropdownMenu in my application to replace the old DropdownButton, but I can't seem to find where to add the error and helper texts.

Back in the DropdownButtonFormField, they would go inside the decoration parameter. Example:

decoration: InputDecoration(
 labelText: 'labelText',
 errorText: 'errorMessage',
 helperText: 'helperText',
),

I could find the style parameters for both helper and error texts in the DropdownMenu, but not the parameter for the text itself.

Am I missing something or this widget does not support those parameters?

This was my DropdownButton before:

DropdownButtonFormField<MyItem>(
      value: _selectedItem,
      decoration: const InputDecoration(
        labelText: 'Salutation',
        errorText: 'errorMessage',
        helperText: 'helperText',
        border: OutlineInputBorder(),
      ),
      onChanged: _onChanged,
      items: items.map((MyItem item) {
        return DropdownMenuItem<MyItem>(
          value: item,
          child: Text(item.title),
        );
      }).toList(),
    );

The expected result with the DropdownMenu is a similar, but with the lowered position of the items menu and the integrated search feature it has. Those were the main reasons for the change.

For anyone needing this in the future, I opened an issue in the Flutter repository and they replied that the parameters are missing and will potentially be added.
