Text auto complete

I ran into this issue many times before and after a number of attempts to make it work I just left it moved on. I guess time came to figure this out…

When creating field you can use Aut-Complete field and it does a great job at helping you find a predetermined solution but it does not allow me to input values other than those it can find.

I need this to be a tool that helps find similar text but allows any text to be inserted if I so choose and at the moment I can not find any way to accomplish that.

Seems like if the value is not from one suggested field does not update with data.

Am I missing something or this is not possible with the current implementation

The autocomplete does not works as a suggestion, it’s mandatory to get a valid value. Is like a HTML select, you must select a value.

I know it does not work as autosuggestion but see no reason why it can not work as autosuggestion, giving this option needs minimal changes to the underlying code.
