Coincidentally, I was just trying to figure this problem out, so this
snippet is helpful. It's weird, because I'm almost certain I've done
this before, but couldn't remember how.

In my current Org, version 9.3.6-elpaplus, I need a "+" in front of a
select tag, ie the "MAYBE" above needs to be "+MAYBE", otherwise nothing
is selected at all. If this is how it's meant to be, maybe we could
amend this example?

Thanks!
