SummarizeAfter

configuration

When set to a number, the tag list switches to a summarized display once the number of selected items reaches or exceeds that threshold. The first summarizeAfter items are rendered as individual tags, and the remaining items are collapsed into a single overflow chip showing the count (e.g. "+5 item(s) selected"). Set summarizeAfter to null to render all selected items as individual tags unless tagMode is set to "single".
