Hi,

You can add this code

asyncAutocomplete.addEventListener('open.mdb.autocomplete', ()=>{
  setTimeout(()=>{
  document.querySelectorAll('a').forEach((aTag)=>{
    aTag.setAttribute('onclick', 'test()')})},10)
})

at the end of your JS file. You can also add some custom class to your a tags and make different query selector in order to prevent unwanted interaction with different elements on your site.

Keep coding,
Dawid

This workaround resolves onclick issue, but we cannot pass onclick arguments like id/name/value etc., and as attributes are removed we cannot find which a tag clicked on. This is still does not solve my current issue.

Is there a reason for removing attributes ? I also noticed that button tag removed completely.

To add functionality that you have asked for, we will need to rewrite most of this component. And we don't plan to do this in near future. But here is the snippet showing how to achieve most of requested things https://mdbootstrap.com/snippets/standard/d-wajszczuk/3246079. You can add this way every attribute that you need.

Thanks Dawid, that solves my issues. I did tried similar approach before with string concatenation which did not worked, but string interpolation worked.

Thanks for quick support !!
