How to pull dropdown submenu to the left side in Bootsrap 4

I am using Bootstrap 4 and I have multilevel dropdown as below :

I want to pull the submenus to the left. So the opposite side as it currently shows. I used multiple classes for example dropdown-menu-left, pull-left , dropleft but didn't change the direction of pulling the submenu. I also overrided the dropdown-menu classe but same result.

.dropdown-menu {
  left: auto;
  right: 0;
}

Any suggestion please what's the right class in Boostrap 4 to pull the submenu to the left ? I tried solutions of other threads here but it's not working for me. Thank you very much.

Here is my code :

The issue you are having is because you have set left: 100% on .dropdown-submenu .dropdown-menu so when you add the .dropleft class it is being overridden by the left:100% remove this and it should work ok; please see below: https://jsfiddle.net/fdm6zer9/

Copied from your source, and added a few class styles, hope can be helped.
