I have a user filter with multiple dropdown and the drop down contains duplicate names of amendment but their application type and Line of business is different so there are duplicate names . As this is multiple dropdown if we select one duplicate name another duplicate name is also getting selected thats fine , but when I deselect one its not deselecting both, aby idea how to handle this
In the above picture I selected blood , but if I deselect one blood , its not getting deselecting unless I click on "cross" button in dropdown

I highly recommend to remove any duplicate options.
Do all the Blood entries have the same amendmentMasterId or different amendmentMasterId values?If Same Id : Use amendmentMasterId as the id.If Different Ids: You need to group by name first, then create one filter option per unique name with an array of Ids.
Its different Ids
Its different Ids but can you please guide how to do it in mycase
I want to see all the duplicate names in the dropdown as per business, only thing I need it has to deselect when I deselect it , currently its not deselecting
But the client need them
Is this issue resolved? We are also facing the same issue
I would strongly recommend creating something that has a unique value - for example, in the screenshot above it shows "Blood" and "Blood", but maybe it should be "Blood (Basic)" and "Blood (Advanced)" or something that probably makes more sense for the scenario.
Having duplicates of either the value or the label will just lead to confusion, and it isn't clear to my why a user would prefer to have duplicates without any additional context.
The code you provided uses amendmentMasterId as the filter selection, and the dropdown displays either nameEnglish or nameFrench. This means that if the ‘Blood’ option appears twice, both entries share the same amendmentMasterId. That’s why selecting ‘Blood’ selects both.
amendmentMasterId
nameEnglish
nameFrench
From my experience, if duplicates exist, you can’t unselect just one—it will reselect both (with a slight delay). You need to manually unselect both to clear the selection.
The fix is to remove duplicates from the list. Based on your data, the easiest way would be to query dropdown values from the UWG Amendment Reference record, which doesn’t contain duplicate amendmentMasterId values. Currently, you’re pulling from the amendmentMaster record, which can include multiple duplicates of the same amendment type. I also noticed ‘Brain or nervous system’ duplicated there. If this isn’t addressed, as more records are added, your filter will continue to grow with duplicates.
The downside is that your list will contain all the values avalaible in UWG Amendment Reference regardless if it is used or not if you prefer to only see options that are in the data then use grouping to ensure you don't get any duplicates.
In addition to this comment, I also recomment to create a master table to define all the 'Amendment' types as well a brief description for all of them. In the dropdown concatenate the type and the description
