Describe the issue

When using Modus autocomplete with multi-select, the component behaves inconsistently based on initialization. If initialized with a single option, it recognizes the value from list of options, allowing further selections. With no initial value, users can select options from the list, which are styled as chips.
However, if initialized with multiple options (as a comma-separated list), the component fails to recognize them, displays a "no results found" message, and prevents further selections. Ideally, the autocomplete should recognize comma-separated values from the list, display them as chips, and allow additional selections.

Need to make sure that setting the value properly adds the chips. (Also, chip styling is weird)
