Make no selection on combo boxes return total sample

Many of our users add Contol boxes to the Pages
Often they want an empty box (no selection) to correspond to the Total Sample based on single response questions. Currently no selection equals no respondents (Filter = 0).
To achieve this users write their own R Code (if len of box = 0, Filter =1).
This means that they create each filter separately and can’t use the process described here: [How to Create a Combo Box Filter|https://help.displayr.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003049676]
During support, we get a lot of speed-related issues that are linked to too many filters.
Solution:
Add a feature: Empty Box returns total Sample.

Allow the customer to toggle between having a Select All or no selection for showing total sample in a control

A user would like the combo box control to show the total respondents when nothing is selected and hide the category (Select All). This will improve the usability for their end users.
We can use the following R CODE to make sure the filter is total when nothing is selected in the combo box filter:
Check if anything is selected
if (length(ComboBoxRegion.filter) == 0) {
rep(TRUE, length(ResponseId))
} else {
rowSums(
HLB global survey of business leaders, 2025 - Powering up Profitability
$Questions$Region.filter[ , trimws(ComboBoxRegion.filter, whitespace = "[\\h\\v]"), drop = FALSE]
) > 0
}
