Disable Encoding in AutoComplete Column

yatin.agrawal1 · February 1, 2022, 6:03am

Hi Team,

I want to disable encoding for auto-complete renderers.
Because it is causing validation error while copy-paste.

‘cost&center’, ‘section&copy’, ‘door&section’,

We are matching beforePaste and afterPaste values and they are not matching because characters are encoded.

“cost&center” !== “cost¢er”

Autocomplete dropdown should display “cost&center” not “cost¢er”
Any Solution to disable this ?
