@wnvko @dkamburov I'm not that familiar with the combo, but looking at the docs: https://www.infragistics.com/products/ignite-ui-angular/angular/components/combo#two-way-binding It seems that the bindings expect just an array of the simple value associated with the valueKey in the data, so instead of the whole complex object:

 genres: [[{ type: 'Action' }, { type: 'Crime' }]],

Maybe it should be just the string value:

      genres: [['Action', 'Crime']],

And in that case it gets sets as expected: https://stackblitz.com/edit/rucvus-qegyvi Let me know if that solves your issue or if I'm missing something.

Sounds reasonable to me. @wnvko does that work for you? Please re-open it if we are missing something.
