Incorrect role is being assigned to combo box; it is impacting accessibility of the control. about selectize.js HOT 1 OPEN

Please find below comments from the IP Address Management Engineering product team:

We use a 3rd-party JS library 'JQuery.Selectize' to render all boxes to combo boxes. In our code, we just need to declare a HTML element in the page and call selectize() method in the JS. The library will do all the magic things for us. See:

So, coming to the IPAM web site, the original select box will be covered by the combo box that generated by the library. For instance
Although I have set the select's role to "combobox", because the library-generated elements will cover it. The screen reader cannot hit it.
Meanwhile, we cannot assign the role to the JQuery.Selectize either as it doesn't provide this API.
