We have various pickers and selection tools in Tiki. Let's review what we have and what we are missing. Please list and explain below current and projected use cases. Ref: How to pick a software library. This is for Tiki28 although it's possible we'll backport a few things to Tiki27 if it's easy and low-risk.
This excludes work on file pickers and date pickers, which are covered by other pages:
These are useful all over Tiki:
Names differ for similar tools. Please see https://open-ui.org/research/component-matrix/
Select2 is now activated by default in Tiki and the assumption is that we continue to use: https://gitlab.com/tikiwiki/tiki/-/merge_requests/4214
But it's been over 4 years since the last release: https://github.com/select2/select2/issues/6290
So maybe we should change?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranked_voting
For EvoluData, we ask team members which 3 to 5 departments they prefer to work on, in order of priority. In this case, we want to know so we assign relevant tasks and projects.
For a voting system, we'll want this data to determine the winner(s) of an election. Ex.: https://opensource.org/blog/results-of-2024-elections-of-osi-board-of-directors
Global use case: E-democracy

Element UI is a popular vue.js library that provides a wide range of components, including one particularly useful for this scenario: the Transfer
component.

Favorite candidate: https://philippemarcmeyer.github.io/vanillaSelectChooser/ is quite promising despite its lack of activity, it's very small to be forked if necessary.

The shift and ctrl modifiers don't work for me, and i don't like the way i have to do 2 clicks to select something.
So i vote for https://fabianlindfors.se/multijs/ i reckon (although the vue.js one isn't bad also)
Like "Ranked voting" but the order is not important. Ex.: Please select the list of all countries you ship to.
On the left is a long list (Ideally a list of continents, and country list is indented), and user picks and move to the right. Here is a similar example from Select2:

A challenge with asking people if they agree with various topics is that you won't have enough ressources to do all the ones that get positive feedback. Another approach is that each participant has a fixed quantity (votes, money, time, etc.) and you allocate to a number of different priorities.
