I have a table that I pre-filter (via the menu options) to render two different lists.
In addition to the prefilters, I use the "regular" filters to search for records.
On fields records, I like to use the "auto-complete" rendering. The problem is that in that case, I can access ALL data from the table, not just the ones corresponding to the prefilter.
If I select one of the "wrong" data, the list returns no records, which is correct but confusing for the user.
I thought it was inherent to the pre-filter situation, but if I switch the filter to "dropdown" instead, then it shows only the pre-filtered data.
It seems that it is then the autocomplete option that is the issue. Is it possible to filter correctly (the way dropdown does) or is it something that AJAX forbids?
