Hello,
I try to find a way to reset MDBSelectInput value. I tried to change the selected prop but it can not affect the input, because as doc explained : the selected prop is default value.
So useless if a value is previously selected by user. 
If you have any idea how to do it ?

A way to do is to have a select HTML element in a form and when you want to reset the select, use the native function reset() of the form (as exemple with a ref). (I tried with MDBSelect instead of  select HTML, but it doesn't work with this one...)
Exemple works :
<form ref={this.formRef}>
    <select className="browser-default custom-select">
        <option value="">Select element</option>
         ...
     </select>
</form>

If you want to control a select input you need to use Controlled select. MDBSelectInput is a part of an uncontrolled select component. 
You can read more about this component in an API tab on the select documentation page:
I will report a problem with the "version" field to our team.

ps : in your support's form the "version" field is bugged : sometimes we can't set value (and can't valid the form...)
