The refresh request is performed asynchronously, so you're setProps call
may have been executed before the response was returned. You could have
subscribed to the refresh end event in order to invoke the setProps call
after the refresh.
Regarding focus, "dropDown2.focus()" is not a valid call. (This focus
function is on the DOM node associated with the underlying HTML select
element.) However, you can call dropDown2.getSelectElement().focus().
