Describe the bug

On <Autocomplete> component, the value received is the Label instead the value. I guess its a BUG or not? It should log the value, not the label

"defaultSelectedKey" might have the value of "cat" hence it might return the label causing this issue

modify the handler like this

const handleSubmit = (event) => { event.preventDefault(); const selectedLabel = new FormData(event.target).get("animal"); const selectedAnimal = animals.find(animal => animal.label === selectedLabel); const name = selectedAnimal ? selectedAnimal.value : null; console.log(name); // Should log "cat" if "Big Cat" is selected }

{(item) => {item.label}}

<Button type="submit">Submit</Button>

I used the onChange function to get the key and returned it as a state (controlled). However, this is annoying. The problem is that it’s supposed to be a select, but it is an input, which causes confusion. Maybe they should create a select with search and not an input. Both makes sense and serve different cases.

No comprendo porque se complica tanto el hecho de obtener un valor desde una Autocomplete cuando en todos los lenguajes siempre se tienen dos atributos el label y value. Donde el value siempre va ser el id
