Hi all,

I am having an issue where neither the label nor the selected item are being displayed when selected. Any help or advice is appreciated! The choice is registered and processed, it just isn’t displayed on the picker. It does appear in the dropdown menu as well, it’s only after selection that the picker appears empty. Here’s the relevant code:  
`

  
  
Sport Workbook:  
  
  

```
        <div class="form-group">
            <sp-picker id="select-event-tab" disabled>
                <span slot="label">Event (Tab):</span>
                <!-- Menu items dynamically populated by JavaScript -->
            </sp-picker>
        </div>`

```

Your code is missing the JS part. Apparently when you select the item, something happens in JS
