I tried to use the same pattern in creating submenu, and its displaying but the problem is its already showing when I only trying to view the submenu
<ul class="nav-links">
<li>
<div class="iocn-link">
<a href="#">
<i class='bx bx-collection'></i>
<span class="link_name">Patient Information Module</span>
</a>
<i class='bx bxs-chevron-down arrow'></i>
</div>
<ul class="sub-menu">
<li><a class="link_name" href="#">Patient Information</a></li>
<li>Patient</li>
<li>Dental</li>
<li>Immunization</li>
<li>Pediatric</li>
<li>
<div class="iocn-link">
<a href="#">
<i class='bx bx-collection'></i>
<span class="link_name">Pediatric</span>
</a>
<i class='bx bxs-chevron-down arrow'></i>
</div>
<ul class="sub-menu">
<li><a class="link_name" href="#">Immunization</a></li>

This is my updated code
I'm having a lot of troubles trying to do this. I finally found how to do an expansion animation for an aside menu im doing, when I hover one of its elements.
The problem is that i want to do an animation to close it as well. I tried making an animation as the open animation (with from -> to) and it doesn't work.
I tried making transitions with max height, using the different containers in the list (ul, div, li, whatever one by one), I tried searching different kinds of already made animations, but none worked, the menu just pop out and disappear without animation.
What I basically want is a smooth animation to move the other elements down (reached), and then up when the menu closes.
Actually it has 2 animations: to expand the max height, and to move it from right to left. but I can't reach to close it with animation.
I don't want to use Javascript, because is for school project but we haven't seen it yet.

I've created a simple dropdown menu that scales and fades in whenever I hover over the parent list item, "Services". Everything works as it should except for when I hover over the child element (dropdown menu) which also makes it appear. I understand that simply hiding it with opacity will not prevent a user from hovering over it but it allows for the 0.4s transition to take effect. If I were to hide it with display:none or visibility:hidden, the transition becomes instant. I'm considering using jQuery to solve this but was wondering if there is a solution based purely in CSS.

It's not that you are hovering over the child element, it's that your list elements are so tall from the height:60px that when you hover under the words, it's still going over the li element.
If you are targeting supporting browsers you can use pointer-events to prevent the submenu from causing a hover mouse event
Give your element pointer-events:none to disable
.services-list-container {
pointer-events:none;
position: absolute;
width: 200px;
top: 100%;
height: auto;
opacity: 0;
transform: rotateX(-20deg) scale(0.9,0.9);
transform-origin: 0 0;
transition: transform 0.4s ease, opacity 0.4s ease;
}
Then to make sure you can still enter the submenu, reset pointer-events while your .hover elements are hovered
.hover:hover .services-list-container {
pointer-events:all;
transform: rotateX(0deg) scale(1,1);
opacity: 1;
transition: transform 0.4s ease, opacity 0.4s ease;
}

A combination of visibility:hidden; with the opacity changes helps you to keep that animation while still preventing it from triggering outside of the intended menu area:

How can I make the Dropdowns Fade in with only CSS? A bit noobish question but still trying to understand CSS Any one have any idea how to make it possible plz suggest it.
Thanks !
One possible solution is to use opacity: 0 instead of display: none and using transition on hover:
#menu {
width: 100%;
margin: 10px auto;
}
#menu ul,
#menu li {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0 0;
list-style: none
}
#menu ul {
width: 100%;
}
#menu li {
float: left;
display: inline;
position: relative;
}
#menu a {
display: block;
line-height: 35px;
padding: 0 14px;
text-decoration: none;
}
#menu li a {
border-right: 1px solid #e5e5e5;
}
#menu li a:hover {
color: #444;
background-color: #e5e5e5;
}
#menu input {
display: none;
margin: 0 0;
padding: 0 0;
width: 80px;
height: 30px;
opacity: 0;
}
#menu label {
font-size: 20px;
display: block;
width: 35px;
height: 20px;
line-height: 20px;
text-align: center;
color: #77778b;
visibility: hidden;
}
#menu label span {
position: absolute;
left: 35px;
}
#menu ul.menus {
height: auto;
overflow: hidden;
width: 180px;
border-top: 1px solid #e5e5e5;
border-left: 1px solid #e5e5e5;
border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;
position: absolute;
z-index: 99;
display: block;
left: -1px;
opacity: 0;
}
#menu ul.menus li {
display: block;
width: 100%;
}
#menu ul.menus a {
color: #77778b;
}
#menu li:hover ul.menus {
opacity: 1;
-webkit-transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;
-moz-transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;
-ms-transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;

Also you can use transition same way to animate on mouse out:
#menu {
width: 100%;
margin: 10px auto;
}
#menu ul,
#menu li {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0 0;
list-style: none
}
#menu ul {
width: 100%;
}
#menu li {
float: left;
display: inline;
position: relative;
}
#menu a {
display: block;
line-height: 35px;
padding: 0 14px;
text-decoration: none;
}
#menu li a {
border-right: 1px solid #e5e5e5;
}
#menu li a:hover {
color: #444;
background-color: #e5e5e5;
}
#menu input {
display: none;
margin: 0 0;
padding: 0 0;
width: 80px;
height: 30px;
opacity: 0;
}
#menu label {
font-size: 20px;
display: block;
width: 35px;
height: 20px;
line-height: 20px;
text-align: center;
color: #77778b;
visibility: hidden;
}
#menu label span {
position: absolute;
left: 35px;
}
#menu ul.menus {
height: auto;
overflow: hidden;
width: 180px;
border-top: 1px solid #e5e5e5;
border-left: 1px solid #e5e5e5;
border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;
position: absolute;
z-index: 99;
display: block;

opacity: 0;

-ms-transition: opacity 0.5s ease-in-out;

transition: opacity 0.5s ease-in-out;
}
#menu ul.menus li {
display: block;

}
#menu ul.menus a {
color: #77778b;
}
#menu li:hover ul.menus {
