While resetting the formik form in react, MDBSelect is not getting reset. Previously selected value is displayed in the dropdown. But the values of that is assigned as empty. Please check and let me know how to reset the MDBselect.

Did you try destroy it and attach a new one?

Rather than destroying it, a much more simple approach would be attaching the key parameter to the MDBSelect component. The key could be the state of the selected value. Essentially, once the key changes, the component will be forced to unmount, then remount.

Here is a rough example using hooks. You will have to fill in additional logic to make it work.

const [selectedDrowndownVal, setSelectedDropdownVal] = useState(initialSelection);

const onDropdownSelect = key => { setSelectedDropdownVal(key[0]); }

<MDBSelect key={selectedDrowndownVal} options={YOUR_OPTIONS} selected={selectedDrowndownVal} label="Select a Value" getValue={onDropdownSelect} />

I have noticed this workaround also will help people when using MDBDatePicker
