    Hello !
    I've created an autocomplete field that populates results with AJAX from an API.
    The fields is well populated : https://imgur.com/ryhJuEJ
    When I select a line, it's well displayed underneath the list : https://imgur.com/5eB5ZvW
    In the code, the value is correct : https://imgur.com/88bOc6e

    But when I Save the post, nothing is stored in the database.
    I've tested with static data and it works fine...

    Can you help me understand why ?
    Thanks !

    OK, it works if I set this option in my field : 'sanitize_callback' => 'none',

    Is there a way to display the value here after saving ?

    Hello,

    Does the returned data from API have the format 'value' => 'Label' like the static data? Also, the value should be in lowercase, with no special characters. Read more in the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/fields/autocomplete/#settings
