In the SLDS documentation, it is stated the possibility to have a combobox with grouped options.

example

It is possible to achieve a similar result with the lightning aura component lightning:combobox?

In the specification of lightning:combobox is clearly stated that the options attribute is a list of objects that have the properties label and value only and there are no other attributes that suggest the use of something like groups. I'm hoping that I missed something or that there is a workaround to achieve what I want without having to write a custom combobox component.

No, you'd have to write your own component. There's no "grouping" feature available in the library lightning:combobox.

    It borders on irresponsibility for Salesforce to ship such disastrously under-featured components such as lightning-combobox or lightning:combobox, without any apparent thought towards supporting other aspects of the SLDS combobox blueprint. Actually, it appears there is a lightning-grouped-combobox component, but it's undocumented AFAICS.

  • @kamezaburo I agree it's frustrating that the full range of options in the SLDS docs are not available, but it does take time for them to get to everything.

I've implemented a custom LWC Grouped Combobox using the SLDS Combobox blueprints.

Example of what the Custom Salesforce LWC Grouped Combobox looks like (built using the SLDS Combobox blueprint)

lightning:combobox/lightning-combobox does not support grouping and lightning-grouped-combobox is not officially supported yet. If you're willing to go custom, please feel free to use my LWC Grouped Combobox above.
