Is there any way to return the value entered by the user at a Dropdrown or Autocomplete component as a string instead of an object? ( I don't use the code field)
For example right now the variable that bind with the Autocomplete component is stored as variable:{ name: 'ValueEntered' }. What I want to simplify things is to have something like variable: "ValueEntered" since it is a single value. Thanks!
