Nuxt

Package

v4.x

Version

v4.0.1

Reproduction

https://github.com/pbartyla/nuxt_select_menu_filter

Description

When using USelectMenu with a custom search/filter logic (ignore-filter + manually filtered items), the selected items lose their label reference and display the raw value (e.g., id) instead of the label (e.g., name) if the search term filters out the already selected items from the list.

Moreover, the USelectMenu component does not accept a prop to provide all available options. When using custom filtering, you need to manually maintain the full list of items—including filtered and selected ones—and implement the selection logic yourself. This adds extra complexity and makes it difficult to keep the selected labels in sync with the available options.

Research direction

Start with the reproduction at https://github.com/pbartyla/nuxt_select_menu_filter and trace USelectMenu's custom search/filter behavior, especially with ignore-filter enabled. Confirm how selected items retain their labels when filtering removes them from the displayed list; done means selected values continue showing their labels without requiring a separately maintained full options list.
