Show the previously selected entry in #role-select

Not sure this is possible, but currently when I select "typescript" it doesn't show it as selected in the "role-select" channel. When I then select it again it will deselect "TypeScript". Would it be possible to show what role has been selected before in the UI.

Can you elaborate on “selected”? I am able to see the roles as added or removed when addding or removing them

@nakajimayoshi your screenshot is quite unclear 😅 But look at the one below. You can see that I am marked both as Osaka and Typescript and yet the dropbox don't give indications that typescript/osaka is selected

This is mainly due to a limitation of discord components. As of today, there's no state tracking of the select menu UI, and so it has to be handled via the roles API. After selecting / desalting a role the user gets a notification, and they are able to check their profile card for selected/deselected roles.

In order to make the role selection work properly, the bot has to reset the component otherwise the user cannot select/deselect with one button press, and it results in occasional crashes.
