                HiMaterial select component with filter enabled and multiple selection enabled does not work.It throws the error that the filterInput native element is not found. I checked the code and it is not implemented even in the latest version of MDB Angular Pro

Dear dhananjay.1312, That’s the right behavior. You can’t get multiple and filtering, because, in multiple, there’s no search box to find your selects. So when you define [multiple]=”true” and [filterEnabled]=”true”, console throws you an error, that filterInput is not available. That’s the right behavior. Material Select is designed to select from few available options. If your list is more complex, please think about using Autocomplete instead of Select: https://mdbootstrap.com/forms/autocomplete/ Best Regards, Damian
