Multi-select Autocomplete Question

    I have a multi-select autocomplete Pods field on my WordPress site. When I have no saved selections in this field, I am presented with the entire list of options when I click in the input. However, if I already have a saved selection, when I click in the input, no options are shown; the autocomplete functionality (which I think utilizes the Select2 library) seems to think my saved selection is the search.

    Is there any way I can override this behavior?

    Input without any saved selections:

    Hi @solidrockmedia

    Hmm this sounds like a bug. I think that because you have already made a selection it expects a search query. If you type anything in there, do you see results then?

    In any case, please file a bug report here: pods.io/submit

    @keraweb, when I type in the input where a selection has already been made, I do not see results as I would expect. It would appear the autocomplete is using the saved selection as the search term and because each term is unique, there are no additional matches to be found. I would expect that for each click in the input I get a full list of available options excluding already saved selections.

    I will fill out a bug report.
