After a recent Home Assistant update I can no longer select items in an 'input_select' drop down list. Is there a known issue? Is there a fix? Where would I report this issue?

Hello, have you tried restarting home assistant to reload the helpers ?

I actually restored old backups until I had a working version again (requiring restarts) which is how I determined that it was a the HA upgrade that caused the system to break rather than an upgrade in another add on. Staying with the older (working) HA would unfortunately kill a bunch of changes made since then and wouldn't help in the long run anyway.

Where is that element? Aka, what is the yaml on the dashboard for it? As I have input_select's on my dashboard (as entity row) no problem. Did you also clear your browser cache?

Yes, I cleared my browser cache. The code for the dashboard is straight forward:

  • type: custom:select-list-card
    entity: input_select.home_cooling_modes
    title: Home cooling fan mode
    icon: mdi:fan
    truncate: true
    show_toggle: true
    scroll_to_selected: true
    max_options: 5
    The choices display (although in a slightly different/smaller font) on the dashboard but they are not select-able

have you tried using that input_select with a built in card, not using the custom one ?

No, I have not ... I will look and see what I can find about the card you mention. Thanks.

Ok, I don't know what you mean. When I look at the Lovelace docs for it's 'select list card', I see that I need to use 'custom:select-list-card' for the type (https://community.home-assistant.io/t/lovelace-select-list-card/210085)

Home Assistant Community
Lovelace: Select List card

Select list Card Display the options of an input_select entity as a clickable list card. In other words: the content of the dropdown menu is displayed as a card. The input_select.select_option service is called after the user clicks (selects) an option. Some use cases: Select with too many options to show in dropdown Options with long title...

the standard entities card allow to use the input select

# 
 - type: entities
        entities:
          - entity: input_select.home_cooling_modes
#

should look like this by default with your own entries

Doing it that way seems to work! Thanks

I guess this implies that the problem is in the custom :select-list-card code. Any thoughts on where I might post a bug report?
Things are working now but the custom:select-list-card offered a bunch of styling options that the standard card doesn't have.

Most custom cards have their own github repo, I woul djust search for the name of the card and see if you can find it that way.

I did not realize that the card had more than likely been abandoned. Since the chances of this getting fixed is near zero, I will have to either make do with the plain select card without the fancy formatting or find another way to go. In any which case, I know now to not hold my breath for a fix. Thank you !

I looked through the forks and none have any newer commits. The Dev also has no recent contributions.

I did in fact trip over card-mod earlier but it is well above my pay grade. Thank you again for your help.

Thank you also to @orchid isle ! I appreciate the help..
