Multiple selections need quick reset—Clear All saves clicks. This React multi-select combobox adds X icon button from Lucide React in trigger next to ChevronsUpDown using stopPropagation preventing trigger toggle. Built with shadcn/ui Command and Popover featuring conditional rendering showing clear button only when selections exist. The Clear All pattern enables efficient reset—perfect for filter interfaces, search refinement, multi-criteria selectors, or anywhere users frequently need to start over eliminating tedious individual deselection through single-click batch clearing.
