Hey @edbernal sorry for the late reply

Indeed, this is an automatic behavior of the element over which it is rather difficult to have control.  
Nevertheless, I’ve come up with a little hack that may enable you to get the expected result if your select is not too heavy.

Create a variable that you can name selectVisible, for example. It will be a boolean set to true by default.  
Then bind the select’s conditional rendering to this variable.

And lastly, on the Clear icon element, add a workflow to the click. This workflow will:

- Change variable → selectVisible to false
- Change variable → selectVisible to true
