Hi,
I am testing the autocomplete widget and don't understand one
behaviour.
Let's say i have a list like this (key/value pairs or in ODK
terminology value/label pairs)
value='12345', label='first item'
value='12346', label='second item'
Now. let's say I am entering items and I start keying in 'first' which
offers me only one option (first item) that I select. Then, I move to
the next screen and move right back (let's say i want to modify
something). In the original screen where I entered the first item I
now see '12345' and not 'first item' as the app initially inserted
when selecting the filtered item. The final problem actually happens
after swiping forward from this screen since the app tells me
"Warning: 12345 does not match any answers. No answer recorded." and
clears the input box.
It seems that the autocomplete widget replaces the label with the
value but it does not actually allow filtering by value which means
that if the user goes back to view the result and forward again, he or
she loses the input.
Could this be a bug?
Cheers
Rok
