[Autocomplete] Save onBlur (free solo)

Latest version

• I have tested the latest version

Summary 💡

There is clearOnBlur I think it will be really good to add saveOnBlur, I saw many of my users write a text in freeSolo mode but forget to click enter.
I will be happy to create a PR for that if you want (solved it already on my local project)

Examples 🌈

When a user will turn on the saveOnBlur attribute the last value will be added to the values.

Motivation 🔦

I think it will help users use this component from what I saw especially in freeSolo mode users add a text but without Enter the value will not update

From my quick thought, it sounds like a good improvement for the free solo but do you see any concern for the usage that is not free solo?

[obsd]

In regular mode, it should check if the written word is equal to one of the options if it is, select it, if not clear/do nothing.
Or if we want to keep it simple it could be an option for freeSolo only.

This is what I think, would love to hear your thoughts about that as well...

I would love to contribute this code if you want @siriwatknp.

I think it makes sense to support saveOnBlur only for freeSolo mode. Feel free to submit a PR and tag me. Thanks!

Hello,
I just had the same thought and stumbled onto this issue.
@obsd Is there any progress by now?
Or would you be kind enough to show how you got it working on your local project?
