Already answered here > YII - Add another attribute to dropDownList

$attributes = [
    'attrib1' => 'valueA',
    'attrib2' => 'valueB',
];

foreach ($some_items_array as $index => $att) {
    $dropdownlist_options[$index] = $attributes;
}

<?=$form->field($invoice, 'id')
    ->dropDownList(ArrayHelper::map($some_items_array, 'value_field', 'show_field'), [
        'options' => $dropdownlist_options, /* [
             $some_selected_id => [
                 'selected' => true,
                 'attrib1' => 'valueA',
                 'attrib2' => 'valueB',
             ],
             $some_other_id => [
                 'attrib1' => 'valueA',
                 'attrib2' => 'valueB',
             ],

         ],*/
         'class' => 'form-control',
         'prompt' => '',
     ])->label(false);
 ?>

Thank you. The problem with this is that this presupposes that all of the option value id's are known and finite (in order to be able to declare each). $some_items_array returns a list of items who's length and values are unknown before runtime.

Ahh.. yes, that worked, thanks!! I had to programitically select a value so used this slightly modified line: 'options' => [$some_selected_id => ['Selected'=>true], $dropdownlist_options].Thanks again!!

actually adding the $some_selected_id line to the options didn't work. I'll prob wind up setting the selected value through jQuery.
