A multi-select with chips that cannot be removed

For AI Agents

Hand your agent this brief or the ReUI MCP, not a screenshot. Free to install.

Best for: Preset chips drawn without an X button, for picks the chip itself should not offer to dismiss

When to use

Form fields that pick one option by typing to search, such as a framework, timezone or country
Fields holding several picks as chips, such as frameworks or team members with avatars
Task property pickers opened from a button, such as status, priority, assignee, labels, team or due date

When not to use

A short fixed list chosen from a button, with no typing to narrow it: use the Select component
A free text field that suggests matches but keeps whatever was typed: use the Autocomplete component
A complete signup or settings page with many fields and a submit row: use the Form blocks

Agent notes

showRemove set to false only hides the X; Backspace in an empty ComboboxChipsInput still removes the last chip
Rows filter as the user types only when the function child of ComboboxList renders them; static ComboboxItem children always stay listed
itemToStringValue sets only the submitted value; without itemToStringLabel, search matches an object item's label, else its value field, else its JSON
Combobox parts take render in both twins, since both wrap @base-ui/react; asChild applies only to radix twin parts such as DialogTrigger and Button
