Slash commands with auto-complete returning the `name` and not the `value` of the option with pasting

[ZixeSea]

Description

When pasting a slash command with all arguments pre-fill out and auto-complete is enabled, it sends the name of the auto-complete argument instead of the value. If you instead type everything out or click on the auto-completed options and click the option from the list of options (above the textbox) it will send the correct value.

This problems seems similar to #4556 and has existed for a long time. Was never really able to consistently reproduce it until I revisited it today.

Steps to Reproduce

• Copy an existing slash command with arguments pre-fill out (which includes at least 1 auto-complete argument)
• Paste the copied slash command from the first step and send it (without changing the auto-complete argument)
• It will now provide the name as it's value for the auto-complete argument

See screenshot/videos for more details

Expected Behavior

Slash commands with auto-complete provides the value instead of the name as value

Current Behavior

name is returned inside the value

This is just a speculation, but when you copy and paste, you aren't choosing an option, you're merely just inputting your own value. So even though the label is the same as the input, it doesn't necessarily mean you're choosing that option. This is different from the issue you linked as users actually selected an option, not just copy and pasted the command with the input.

Yes, that sounds about right. I wasn't 100% sure and that's why I mentioned it seems similar. auto-complete does allow you to input anything you want even non existing options/text compared to non auto-complete where you have to put in a valid option.

But in my opinion, it should check the arguments (with an auto-complete event) after you click on an existing slash command (if it has an auto-complete argument of course). Not sure if this is possible, currently with copy and paste it doesn't trigger an APPLICATION_COMMAND_AUTOCOMPLETE since you don't touch the auto-complete argument.

As soon as you interact with an auto-complete argument it does send out the auto-complete and it will of course work fine.
