Dropdown initial item is unavailable
I have a usecase where the initial selected item is no longer present in the choices.
With the current behavior, the initial value is not displayed and the dropdown is empty.
Would it be possible to display the initial value with a 'disabled' css class in the dropdown?

Same for multiselects, etc.

Hi J,

It is possible to make the initial value disabled in the list by disabling the same item that is passed as an initial value:

https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-rga55b?file=app/app.component.ts

Here is an example with MutliSelect component:

What also can be done is to bind the [value] property to an item that is not included in the collection bound to the [data] property:
