Topic: Autocomplete - Display Value
I have an array of objects with item_Id and item_description. I want to show the item_description and also use it as search criteria, but when user selects one option, I need to get the item_id. I looked for that in the documentation but couldn't find a way to get it.

You might want to use Select with search for this purpose, as it stores value as the attribute https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/standard/forms/select/#section-search
Autocomplete is an text type input, which stores only displayed value. Otherwise you have to make a custom script.
