Multiselect defaultValue doesn't refresh when props value changes

[Grumpier]

Hi. I'm trying to use this widget to display tag selections made by the user inside another component rather than within Multiselect itself. The idea is that from within Multiselect, the user can see the tags currently inside the filter array and remove them, but selection of tags is done through the other component. I'm looking to achieve something like this:

The code is
<Multiselect defaultValue={props.filter} />
However, the Multiselect component does not seem to be re-rendering when props.filter is changed.

If instead I try
<Multiselect data={props.filter} />
the data does re-render.

Is there any workaround to force the component to re-render the default values when the hooked array changes?

Thanks for any help you can offer!

some properties (like event handlers) are also not refreshing when they are changed for Combobox
