The auto complete field captures a text or a list of texts. It has some "options", i.e. possible values that are proposed for selection after typing a few characters (at least two). It is also possible to use these options as suggestions only and allow entering new values.
This field is appropriate when there is a long list of options (place names for instance) and for reducing text variations with an open field.
