Current behavior:
At the moment, when you select an item on an ion-select you are locked into that answer and cannot _clear_ it.

Expected behavior:
It would be great to have an additional 'Clear' button which deselects and resets the select box - this then clears the answer(s) (unticks them) and reverts back to the placeholder text.

There's an argument to say whether this should trigger an ionSelect() with null or undefined or include an ionClear() output. I expect the latter would offer greater flexibility.

As with current buttons, you should be able to set i18n strings - so a setting like clearText would be great.

Steps to reproduce:
N/A

Related code:

<ion-select [showClear]="true" [clearText]="'Reset'">
  <ion-option value="1">1</ion-option>
  <ion-option value="2">2</ion-option>
  <ion-option value="3">3</ion-option>
</ion-select>

Other information:
N/A

Ionic info: (run ionic info from a terminal/cmd prompt and paste output below):
N/A

Hi –

The link above to the feature request is broken.

Is this FR still being considered? I'd like to +1 it and monitor progress.

Sorry – I looked for the FR on the main Ionic repo, but couldn't find it.
