Hello,

This has been marked as Declined because the feature already exists for the RadComboBox. To be specific, you can use a DataTemplate or a DataTemplateSelector for the item templates. For example:

<ContentPage xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2022/xaml/maui" ...>
    <ContentPage.Resources>
        <DataTemplate x:Key="MyItemTemplate">
            <Label Text="{Binding }" />
        </DataTemplate>
        
        <local:MyTemplateSelector x:Key="MyItemTemplateSelector" ... />
    <ContentPage.Resources>
    
    <!-- Both of these will work -->
    <telerik:RadComboBox ItemTemplate="{StaticResource MyItemTemplate}" />
    
    <telerik:RadComboBox ItemTemplate="{StaticResource MyItemTemplateSelector}" />
</ContentPage>

This is because of the nature of .NET MAUI's DataTemplateSelector uses a DataTemplate base class. As long as the UI component is checking to see if it's a selector and passes the correct args, it will work "out-of-the-box".
