CSS | ul > li dropdown issue

I'm having an issue with li items trying to display a dropdown that will automatically expand the previous li. As you can see from the example that the li isn't expanding to the full height.
I need this to be like this because of the border bottom on the first li which is why it is positioned absolute with a top 100%.
Removing the absolute positioning causes the dropdown container to place itself within the border which I obviously do not want.
I already have an after on the li with an icon within, pasted below is a basic example.
I also do not realistically want to set a height on the menu-item class as the dropdown can have different amount of items in
.menu-item {
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 5px;
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
}
.dropdown-container {
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
}<ul>
<li class="menu-item">
<a>Menu Title</a>
<div class="dropdown-container">
<ul>
<li>Test</li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
<li class="menu-item">
<a>Menu Title</a>
</li>
</ul>html css

Assuming you still want the border-bottom: 1px solid black; here you go.
.menu-item {
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 5px;
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
}
.dropdown-container {
top: 100%;
}<ul>
<li class="menu-item">
<a>Menu Title</a>
</li>
<div class="dropdown-container">
<ul>
<li>Test</li>
</ul>
</div>
<li class="menu-item">
<a>Menu Title</a>
</li>
</ul>Your problem was that you were setting the position of the .dropdown-container Even though it’s not necessary or needed in your case. Hope this solved your problem.
Happy coding!
Edit 1
Your problem is that you had
<div class="dropdown-container">
<ul>
<li>Test</li>
</ul>
</div>
In the Menue item div, so by taking it out, that solved your problem, hopefully

I did do this originally but as you can see from the example that you sent, the border now goes beyond the dropdown, which I do not want. I want to border to stay underneathmenu-titleelement and thedropdown-containerto go underneath the border
