Hey everyone, I’m running into a display issue with the Multiselect component and could use some help.
Current situation: When I select items in the Multiselect component, they appear as “chips” even when the dropdown is closed - showing as gray rectangles with white text and “×” icons for each selected item.
What I’m trying to achieve:
-
I only want to display the COUNT of selected items (e.g., “Markets: 3”). I already have a variable working perfectly for counting how many items are selected.
-
I do NOT want the names of selected items to be visible as chips when closed or opened.
The core problem: The WeWeb Multiselect component displays selected items as chips by default when closed, and there doesn’t seem to be a simple setting to disable this behavior.
In summary: I want to show a counter display (“Markets: 5”) instead of the detailed chip list, so the interface stays cleaner and more compact.
Has anyone found a workaround for this?
Hey Balint 
I tried recreating your problem and indeed there isn’t an easy way to remove the chips functionality from our multi select element.
You could try to create a custom select element with the help of AI and see if that works.
There used to be a count option in the old version of the multi select, but for some reason there’s none in the new one, i have tried to fix this or find an alternative for a while but i couldn’t, i did find some alternative, created custom element with & without AI, but it was never great. if you find a great solution, please share with us !
I didn’t find any solution so I implemented another solution.
@bbalint0918 Hi!
I’ve created a custom multiselect input with the exact behavior you described.
If it still relevant for you let me know - I’ll send you the link to the repo.

Hi Batik
Yes it’s relevant, I appreciate if you share the repo with me:)
Hi @bbalint0918
Here’s the link: GitHub - Poolzoon/ww-input-select-main
Remember to change dropdown mode from single to multi, because its single by default
