I forgot I already had opened that issue! @TillerBurr Do you see any difficulties in the implementation? I don't know how far you got already but I could also try to have a look. |

@WWakker No worries. It actually wasn't that bad implementing. The only thing that was slightly challenging were the integration tests, mainly making sure the menu stayed open. I had forgotten that I had started thinking on this a couple weeks ago and this issue reminded me that I should figure out those tests. |

When you have a dropdown with
multi=True, a user might want to select multiple items at the same time. However,dcc.Dropdowncloses when you select one item, and to select another item you have to open it again.It would be much more user-friendly if
dcc.Dropdowncan stay open when an item is selected, or at least have it as an option. Withrshinythis is already possible, see the multi-select example here.There seems to be a way to hack the javascript code to get it working, but a proper solution would be to have a boolean option in dcc.Dropdown, e.g.
close_on_select, ormulti_close_on_select.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
