Don't clear search when item is selected within a MultiSelect

[sinful wren]

For some of my multiselects, a user would like to select multible values once they search and filter down the results. However, the search value resets when they select an option. Is there an easy way to prevent this behaviour and keep the search value?

I currently accomplish this functionality by using a controlled search value, and then overriding the onChange function to setSearchValue(searchValue), but this doesn't seem like the cleanest way.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Nah, your solution is fine. One other option would be to use a custom combobox that does this for you, but honestly I would just keep it as you have now
