How to add autocomplete to a riek field?

[carolinaroman]

Hi

I need to add word completion to some of my riek fields. Currently I am using Awesomplete [1] in my project, and according to the documentation a very simple setup would be, with no explicit Javascript needed (after including css and js):

<input class="awesomplete" list="mylist" />
<datalist id="mylist">
	<option>Ada</option>
	<option>Java</option>
	<option>JavaScript</option>
	<option>Brainfuck</option>
	<option>LOLCODE</option>
	<option>Node.js</option>
	<option>Ruby on Rails</option>
</datalist>

However, it doesn't seem like riek preserves the list attribute. The field is defined:

<RIEInput change={propObj => this.onChange(index, propObj)}
                    className="awesomplete"
                    list="mylist"
                    propName="name"
                    value=""
                    {...validator} />

The Chrome inspection tool shows me that in editing mode the field is:

<input class="awesomplete" value="hat">

The list attribute is missing and awesomplete does not work. Is there some way to make this work or to add any other word completion to a riek field?

Thank you,
