Hello @niechenghai

The clear icon is designed to clear the text, not the tokenized items.

Allowing to clear all tokens seems to be a commonly expected feature:

• Show Clear Icon not working on MultiComboBox #3481

  As a user I don't see how much items and which have I really selected. I expecting for the Clear button to clear all. In the other case I will just delete with backspace.

• Sample "MultiComboBox - Clear Icon" not showing a clear icon #3729

  Adding an overal 'clear' icon to a MultiComboBox (or MultiInput) makes a lot of sense IMO (I would opt for a verbal 'clear' left to the arrow or search help icon).

• showClearIcon on MultiComboBox does not work #4078 (this issue)

Could you consider reopening this issue and processing it as an enhancement request? @MapTo0 @hristop @ndeshev

Hello @boghyon, we will create a feature request, as such it should go through the Inner Source process and approved and specified by the Core design team.
