I'm making this post after seing this: GA announcement: 6 additional modern controls in Canvas! - Microsoft Power Platform Blog

I'm facing some issues with those moderns controls, even though a lot of improvements has been done, I'm not convice all the components are ready for GA .

Combobox:

Issue: Search not working properly

I've done as said on the Microsoft documentation for the modern control with the formula like:

Filter(Search(database;Self.SearchText;FieldName); status = "xx")

If I seach an element outside the delegation limit I have no result:

I have to click outside the search section and then back inside the search section so the filter is updated, and then I need to focus out again to have the whole list.

Issue: Cannot deselect selection

Sometimes you want to set up a dropdown with the possibility for the user to leave blank.

If the user select one element, he can't delesect and is doom to put a value (if it's a searchable dropdown he has the possibility to manually erase the search area)

Issue: Non intuitive selection and search for multiple items

I can't bring myself to give the user a list like that:

If you want to search a new element you have to manually remove all the line + It's not as easy as the old control to remove existing elements on big lists

Issue (more like improvement): Only one field displayed

It feels like were going backward, on the old control you was abel to display a secondary text on the list for the description but it's not available anymore

Text input:

Issue: Multiline display bugged

I'm surprise it's still there, it was like the first thing I've noticed with the modern controls when it was first released, that made me think those controls are not ready:
