Topic: Autocomplete problem - search for value not selected from the choices dropdown
Expected behavior
Autocomplete dropdown is used as a "suggest" to a search form.
Actual behavior
Autocomplete works fine. If a value is chosen from the dropdown - javascript submits it without a problem. (see the code below)
But, if there is no relevant suggestion from autocomplete - user must be able to submit a query.
If input (search) field contains a custom value (i.e., value not selected from the choices dropdown) then "plain" submit on "Enter" does not work.
How to achieve this behavior?
Note: autocomplete submitting non-predefined value on "Enter" in v.3.9.0 works (without any additional .js code).
Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.)
asyncAutocomplete.addEventListener('itemSelect.mdb.autocomplete', (e) => { asyncAutocomplete.addEventListener('close.mdb.autocomplete', (e) => { document.getElementById('search').submit(); }) })
