ComboboxAsyncMulti

v1.0.8Updated 27 Aug 2026

Multi-select counterpart to ComboboxAsync: the same host-driven async loading, spinner, error-and-retry panel, creatable and free-solo rows and grouped results, but the trigger carries one removable chip per value with a "+N more" count past `maxChips`. `maxValues` caps how many can be picked, and Backspace or Delete on the trigger removes the last chip. Values the current result set no longer contains still render as chips using the raw value as the label.
