Internal issue 2968 - Array of string entry component

Nobody has claimed this yet.

Hi ICDS team\!

My team are implementing a form, in which we have used a number of the ICDS fields already, but we have realised we have need for a component which allows the user to enter an array of strings, which none of the current ICDS offerings seem to be able to facilitate.

There inevitably exist a number of components out there which serve this purpose, however we would ideally like to be able to use an ICDS-styled (and approved) component for visual consistency.

An example of such a component (which we have used in the past) would be the [MUI Autocomplete|https://mui.com/material-ui/react-autocomplete], with a combination of the [freeSolo|https://mui.com/material-ui/react-autocomplete/#free-solo] behaviour (allowing user input) and [multiple|https://mui.com/material-ui/react-autocomplete/#multiple-values] (which stores chosen values in the field as chips).

Please do let me know if such a component is something that you would be willing to implement, or if you have any ideas (or insider hints) as to how to use any existing ICDS components for this purpose.

Thanks\!

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so begin by locating the existing ICDS field components and their contribution guidance. The requested component should support user-entered arrays of strings with freeSolo and multiple-style chip behavior, but its API and design still need agreement.
