You ought to also specify the attribute multiple="multiple". value="some-value". Without a doubt due to the fact that it's a list of selections we are simply discussing you should wrap in this component several <option> components including them the correct value="some-value" attributes and positioning some small significant content to get featured in the select within.

      <option>1</option>
