Found the above snippet in vaadin-combo-box-mixin.html. :)

In code do:
<vaadin-combo-box allow-custom-value ...

Can this be mentioned in the docs as well here.

It is mentioned, actually. See the "Allow Custom Values" demo here. Is it clear enough for you, or maybe you suggest making a slightly more verbose description?

[osamamaruf]

It would be better if its made more verbose. 'Custom Values' to me is a bit misleading. It would be good if 'editable' can also be use to describe it.

To me Custom Values sounds better than editable. Editable sounds like you could edit the combo-box items (add/update/remove them) where as custom value is used only for one custom value.
