ComboBox input field is empty while dropdown is visible

[piyumi25]

I need to show selected values when we selecting on each. normally it shows when focus out from the comboBox

@piyumi25 I find it hard to understand what is your issue. Can you please elaborate more on whether it's an issue you have or it's more a question on something you are trying to achieve?

[piyumi25]

normally when we focus out from the combobox the selected values are shown as comma separated string. I need to show when click on checkbox.

@stanleyymsft do you know if there is a reason why we don't show the current set of options in the textbox when changing the selected options in multi-select ComboBox?

[stanleyymsft]

This is a simplification so we could get multi-select implemented quicker to unblock some projects. When we show the intermediate selected items, we need to gracefully take care of the situation when the user directly click into the box and modify them, which will need some non-trivial work.

@piyumi25 @cliffkoh
I believe this is the intended behavior as ComboBox is allowing the user to start typing the options he wants to add to the multiselection.

[cliffkoh]

Thanks @stanleyymsft. Will mark this issue as a feature request.

[Vitalius1]

@micahgodbolt this feels like a dupe of #6084. I will let you decide which one needs to be closed in favor of the other one. If you decide to leave 6084 and close this one, judging from Stanley's answer this should be labeled as a feature was not implemented when multi-select was introduced.

[micahgodbolt]

yes, I think it's similar. This one appears to be a bit more fully fleshed out. Be sure to reach out to 6084 author just to make sure.

[khmakoto]

This has been fixed in #11436. Hence, I'll be closing this issue.
