Use the Angular linkedSignal for Declarative Solutions
summary
Demo builds a dropdown of three items and reproduces a bug where choosing an option then triggering an HTTP emulation replaces the items array and leaves the interpolated value out of the list. The fix replaces a standalone selection with a linkedSignal tied to the items source so the computation finds the matching item from the array. Using Angular’s signals family the linked signal recomputes when the list updates and the dropdown keeps the correct selected item.
