Autocomplete with json array

[Yoly]

Hi.

I have a json array that I want to use with autocomplete in order to display a template like in this demo:

http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/autocomplete/template

 

 I have a working and a non-working version of a simple autocomplete in the following jsfiddle.

My main problem is the second autocomplete that doesn't work (the one bound to usersData). I have a similar response from a server, in which it returns an array, but I can't seem to get the autocomplete to work. I want to eventually have a custom template for the autocomplete itself.

What am I doing wrong?

 

Thank you for your help.

I figured out what the problem was. I want to leave the answer here in case someone else gets the same problem in the future and gets to this post.

Besides an obvious mistake where I was binding the autocomplete that didn't work to the incorrect data source (I blame copy/paste), the problem was that I was missing the dataTextField property on the configuration. Once I added the dataTextField the configuration, it worked as expected.
