Topic: mdb-auto-completer mdb-option value is typed to string
Expected behavior mdb-auto-completer has an attribute, displayValue, that allows you to specify a function to convert an object to a string for display with the select value.
Actual behavior This seems to work, but an error is created in typescript. I believe this is due to the value alltribute of the mdb-option being type string instead of any or string | any.

<mdb-auto-completer [disabled]="disabled || readonly" #auto="mdbAutoCompleter" textNoResults="No results" [displayValue]="onDisplayValue">

@pzimmer Can you add the code of the employee interface so we can test that on our end using the exact same code?

export interface IEmployee { employeeId?: number; displayName?: string; title?: string; workPhone?: string; }

@pzimmer Thank you. We managed to find the cause of the problem. I'm afraid there is no easy workaround for now until we fix that on our end.
