This is ZO_ComboBox template used in dropdown widget:

<GuiXml>
    <Controls>
        <Control name="ZO_ComboBox" mouseEnabled="true" virtual="true">
            <Dimensions x="135" y="31" />
            <OnInitialized>
                ZO_ComboBox:New(self)
            </OnInitialized>
 
            <OnMouseUp>
                ZO_ComboBox_DropdownClicked(self)
                PlaySound(SOUNDS.COMBO_CLICK)
            </OnMouseUp>
 
            <Controls>
                <Control name="$(parent)BG" inherits="ZO_InsetBackground"/>
 
                <Label name="$(parent)SelectedItemText" font="ZoFontGame" color="INTERFACE_COLOR_TYPE_TEXT_COLORS:INTERFACE_TEXT_COLOR_SELECTED" wrapMode="ELLIPSIS" verticalAlignment="CENTER">
                    <Anchor point="TOPLEFT" offsetX="8" />
                    <Anchor point="BOTTOMRIGHT" offsetX="-20" />
                </Label>
 
                <Button name="$(parent)OpenDropdown" inherits="ZO_DropdownButton">
                    <Dimensions x="16" y="16" />
                    <Anchor point="RIGHT" offsetX="-3" />
 
                    <OnClicked>
                        ZO_ComboBox_DropdownClicked(self:GetParent())
                    </OnClicked>
                </Button>
            </Controls>
        </Control>
    </Controls>
</GuiXml>

As this template has named controls which use $(parent), they needs named parent. Otherwise all named children will have duplicate names.
Of course, you can create combobox without template, but it will be much more complicated.
