Angular ng-select multiple values in *ngFor directive

I have several ng-select (Custom server-side search) dropdowns created by a *ngFor directive, having the possibility to pick multiple items from each dropdown.

The problem however is that each time I search for something and pick a value, that value will be selected for all the other ng-select dropdowns as well. Also I need to make the option values returned by the api based on the iteration's variable

Stackblitz: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-vml2j8

filter.component.html:

<div *ngFor="let filter of filters;index as i">
    <ng-select [items]="filterValues | async"
             [typeahead]="filterValuesInput"
             [multiple]="true"
             (open)="ngSelectOpened(filter.name)"
             [loading]="filterValuesLoading"
             bindLabel="name"
             [(ngModel)]="selectedFilterValues[pref.name]">
    </ng-select>
</div>

filter.component.ts

filterValues: Observable<FilterValues[]>;
filterValuesLoading = false;
filterValuesInput = new Subject<string>();
selectedFilterValues];

ngSelectOpened(filterName) {
    this.filterValues = concat(
      of([]), // default items
      this.filterValuesInput.pipe(
        distinctUntilChanged(),
        tap(() => this.filterValuesLoading = true),
        switchMap(term => this.dataService.getData(term).pipe(
          catchError(() => of([])), // empty list on error
          tap(() => this.filterValuesLoading = false)
        ))
      )
    );
}

How can I make the ng-select work based on current iteration?

<ng-container *ngFor="let item of data; let i=index">
 <ng-select id={{i}} name={{i}} class="custom" placeholder="Select" 
                         [items]="dataDropdown" bindLabel="Code" bindValue="Key"
                         [(ngModel)]="item.Key" [virtualScroll]="true" trim="blur"    (open)="ngSelectOpened(item.Nm)"
                         *ngIf="pageMode.toLocaleLowerCase() === 'add' || pageMode.toLocaleLowerCase() === 'edit'" autocomplete="off">
              </ng-select>
</ng-container>

ngSelectOpened(name: string) {
    this.dataDropdown = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(this.dynamicdropdown.filter(x => x.ratingAgencyNm === agencyname)))

  }

deep copied the dropdown values to another variable and filter it on ngfor loop through and updated the original dropdown variable on open event

Maybe not most elegant but seems to work. Previously your selectedPersons were shared between all lists.

Changed Html:

<div *ngFor="let pref of filters">
  <ng-select [items]="people$ | async"
            bindLabel="name"
            [addTag]="true"
            [multiple]="true"
            [hideSelected]="true"
            [trackByFn]="trackByFn"
            [minTermLength]="2"
            (open)="ngSelectOpened(pref.name)"
            [loading]="peopleLoading"
            typeToSearchText="Please enter 2 or more characters"
            [typeahead]="peopleInput$"
            [(ngModel)]="pref.selected">
  </ng-select>
  <br>
</div>

Changed ts (2 lists):

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { DataService, Person } from '../data.service';
import { concat, Observable, of, Subject } from 'rxjs';
import { catchError, debounceTime, distinctUntilChanged, switchMap, tap } from 'rxjs/operators';
@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: [ './app.component.css' ]
})
export class AppComponent  {
  people$: Observable<Person[]>;
    peopleLoading = false;
    peopleInput$ = new Subject<string>();
    selectedPersons: Person[] = <any>[{ name: 'Karyn Wright' }, { name: 'Other' }];
    filters = [
        {id: 1, name: "Filter1", selected: [...this.selectedPersons]},
        {id: 2, name: "Filter2", selected: [...this.selectedPersons]}/*,
        {id: 3, name: "Filter3"}*/
    ]

    constructor(private dataService: DataService) {
    }


    ngSelectOpened(filterName) {
      this.loadPeople(filterName);
    }

    private loadPeople(filterName) {
        this.people$ = concat(
            of([]), // default items
            this.peopleInput$.pipe(
                distinctUntilChanged(),
                tap(() => this.peopleLoading = true),
                switchMap(term => this.dataService.getPeople(term).pipe(
                    catchError(() => of([])), // empty list on error
                    tap(() => this.peopleLoading = false)
                ))
            )
        );
    }
}
