Bind the combobox to where the choice is stored. - `subplate="p"` shares a plate written outside the combobox; it stores the item's text, not its value. - Change, then Select, fire on the combobox, never on the plate. `clear` empties only the shown text, writing nothing to the data. With inline items `value=` is ignored: mark the item `selected="true"`. - Only an `editable="true"` one validates itself (empty, pattern, min-length) - once typed in, and again on each pick or setValue. A state an action sets (error, warning, success) stays until an action sets `valid`. - `editable="true"`: typing filters the items; a typed text is stored, not added. An item with only an icon or `colorbox` needs a `title`.
