Having issues with flutter dropdown items with same value

Am new to flutter and am having issues giving same values to some of the dropdown items. Here is the code for the dropdown below

Expanded(
  child: Padding(
    padding: const EdgeInsets.only(
        left: 20.0, right: 5.0, top: 5.0),
    child: new Container(
      alignment: Alignment.center,
      height: 40.0,
      decoration: new BoxDecoration(
          color: Colors.cyan,
          borderRadius: new BorderRadius.circular(30.0)),
      child: DropdownButton<int>(
        items: [
          DropdownMenuItem<int>(
            child: Text('S&P500'),
            value: 10,
          ),
          DropdownMenuItem<int>(
            child: Text('WS30'),
            value: 1,
          ),
          DropdownMenuItem<int>(
            child: Text('TV-NDX'),
            value: 1,
          ),
          DropdownMenuItem<int>(
            child: Text('AUS200'),
            value: 1,
          ),
          DropdownMenuItem<int>(
            child: Text('JS225'),
            value: 100,
          ),
          DropdownMenuItem<int>(
            child: Text('UK100'),
            value: 1,
          ),DropdownMenuItem<int>(
            child: Text('FCH1'),
            value: 1,
          ),
          DropdownMenuItem<int>(
            child: Text('STOXX50E'),
            value: 1,
          ),
          DropdownMenuItem<int>(
            child: Text('GDAX'),
            value: 1,
          ),DropdownMenuItem<int>(
            child: Text('BITCOIN'),
            value: 1,
          ),
          DropdownMenuItem<int>(
            child: Text('ETHEREUM'),
            value: 1,
          ),
          DropdownMenuItem<int>(
            child: Text('NGS'),
            value: 1000,
          ),
          DropdownMenuItem<int>(
            child: Text('CRUDEOIL'),
            value: 100,
          ),
          DropdownMenuItem<int>(
            child: Text('UKOIL'),
            value: 100,
          ),
          DropdownMenuItem<int>(
            child: Text('SPX-NDX'),
            value: 10,
          ),
          DropdownMenuItem<int>(
            child: Text('SMI'),
            value: 1,
          ),

        ],
        onChanged: (int value) {
          setState(() {
            asset = value;
          });
        },
        hint: Text("TRADEVIEW",
          style: new TextStyle(
              fontSize: 15.0, color: Colors.black),),
        value: asset,
      ),
    ),
  ),
),

Solution

You can use a class to hold name and value. so you can identify duplicate value with name
For demo only, I did not list all you data

code snippet

class Data {
  String name;
  int value;

  Data({
    this.name,
    this.value,
  });

  factory Data.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) => Data(
    name: json["name"] == null ? null : json["name"],
    value: json["value"] == null ? null : json["value"],
  );

  Map<String, dynamic> toJson() => {
    "name": name == null ? null : name,
    "value": value == null ? null : value,
  };
}

List<Data> dataList = [
    Data(name: 'CRUDEOIL', value: 100),
    Data(name: "UKOIL", value: 100)
  ];

    DropdownButton<Data>(
                    items: dataList.map<DropdownMenuItem<Data>>((Data value) {
                      return DropdownMenuItem<Data>(
                        value: value,
                        child: Text(value.name),
                      );
                    }).toList(),
                    onChanged: (Data value) {
                      setState(() {
                        asset = value;
                        print('${asset.name}  ${asset.value}');
                      });
                    }

full code

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
// To parse this JSON data, do
//
//     final data = dataFromJson(jsonString);

import 'dart:convert';

Data dataFromJson(String str) => Data.fromJson(json.decode(str));

String dataToJson(Data data) => json.encode(data.toJson());

class Data {
  String name;
  int value;

  Data({
    this.name,
    this.value,
  });

  factory Data.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) => Data(
        name: json["name"] == null ? null : json["name"],
        value: json["value"] == null ? null : json["value"],
      );

  Map<String, dynamic> toJson() => {
        "name": name == null ? null : name,
        "value": value == null ? null : value,
      };
}
