Thank you for bringing this issue to my attention! Let’s tackle the behavior of the mdb-autocomplete dropdown together.

The behavior you’re describing—where the dropdown remains open after selecting an element—is indeed a bit inconvenient for users. Fortunately, there are a couple of approaches you can try to address this:

Use the data-mdb-container Option:In your mdb-autocomplete component, consider using the data-mdb-container attribute.Set it to the selector of an element inside which the select dropdown should be rendered.For example, if your dropdown is within a modal, set data-mdb-container=".modal" (assuming the modal has the class .modal).This approach ensures that the dropdown is properly contained within the specified element and behaves as expected1.Programmatic Close on Selection:You can manually close the dropdown programmatically after an element is selected.Listen for the selection event (e.g., select or similar) and then close the dropdown using JavaScript.Here’s a simplified example (assuming you’re using jQuery):JavaScript

// Assuming you have an event listener for the 'select' event$('#RequestorSearchInput').mdb_autocomplete({ data: options}).on('select', function () { // Close the dropdown programmatically $('#RequestorSearchInput').mdb_autocomplete('close');}); my AARP Medicare
