That PR addressed the narrower case of *created/pasted* values being pruned, but the broader "existing selections disappear when typing begins" issue traces to two mechanisms that #40984 did not change: 1. **`DefaultValue.tsx` builds a new `filterState` object on every render** — the spread `{...formFilter?.defaultDataMask?.filterState, validateMessage, validateStatus}` produces a fresh reference even when nothing meaningful changed [[1]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/src/dashboard/components/nativeFilters/FiltersConfigModal/FiltersConfigForm/DefaultValue.tsx#L81-L85). 2. **`Select.tsx` resets its internal `selectValue` on any `value` reference change** — `useEffect(() => { setSelectValue(value); }, [value]);` fires whenever the prop reference differs, not when the underlying data differs [[2]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/packages/superset-ui-core/src/components/Select/Select.tsx#L527-L529). 3. **`SelectFilterPlugin.tsx` passes `filterState.value` straight through as the `value` prop** — `value={filterState.value || []}` [[3]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/src/filters/components/Select/SelectFilterPlugin.tsx#L445), so each new `filterState` reference from `DefaultValue.tsx` can trigger the reset effect in `Select.tsx`. [PR #40984](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/40984) fixed the case where *created* values (typed/pasted, not in the loaded dataset page) were dropped by ensuring they appear in `uniqueOptions` as `isNewOption: true` entries. But it didn't stabilize the `filterState` reference in `DefaultValue.tsx` or add deep-equality checking to the `value` effect in `Select.tsx`. So when typing triggers a re-render cycle that produces a new `filterState` object, the `value` effect can still fire and stomp the in-progress selection — even for values that are already present in the loaded options. The root cause analysis in [#43347](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/43347) suggested two directions that would likely fix this: - **Stabilize `filterState`** in `DefaultValue.tsx` with `useMemo` (or pass the existing object when only validate fields change) - **Switch `Select.tsx`'s `value` effect** to a deep-equality check (`isEqual` from lodash is already imported in that file) instead of reference equality This does appear to be a distinct, still-open issue from #43347 — "created values get pruned" was fixed, but "any selection can be wiped by a `value` reference change while typing" was not. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](<https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-comment-footer-20260415&utm_content=reply-with-mention&utm_term=apache%2Fsuperset>).* --- Docs are dead.
