Description

Feature Request Description

The ui5-combo-box popover can be significantly wider than the ComboBox input field. This may result in an inconsistent UI, particularly when the ComboBox is used in layouts where the field has a constrained width.

It would be useful to have a built-in way to control the popover width and optionally make it match the width of the ComboBox field.

Proposed Solution

Introduce a property or configuration option that allows the ui5-combo-box popover width to match the width of its input field.

For example, an option could enable the popover to automatically inherit the rendered width of the ComboBox, ensuring that both elements have the same width.

Proposed Alternatives

One alternative would be to allow developers to explicitly set the popover width through a CSS custom property or another styling mechanism.

However, a dedicated component property would provide a more predictable and supported solution without requiring developers to rely on internal styling or implementation details.

Organization

No response

Additional Context

This feature would improve visual consistency and make the component easier to use in responsive layouts and forms where precise control over component dimensions is important.

Priority
