This creates a cross-platform inconsistency and reduces clarity for users. Example: <input list="numbers" placeholder="Number" autocomplete="off"> <datalist id="numbers"> <option value="1">One</option> <option value="2">Two</option> <option value="3">Three</option> <option value="4">Four</option> </datalist> Observed behavior: - Only the value (e.g., 1, 2, 3) is used to determine the suggestions in the dropdown and predictive text bar. - Only the value is not shown in the predictive text bar Expected behavior: - Autofill searches both value and label - If possible, both value and label are shown in the predictive text bar 2172599 1 ap 2026-01-16 13:06:26 -0800 Thank you for the report! I'm not sure if "ignores the label when determining which options to suggest" precisely matches what I observed when trying this out, but what happened seemed difficult to explain, so there is likely a bug here. 2173106 2 nicolas.delafuente01 2026-01-19 14:11:04 -0800 For the attached test case, if you type 'o', it causes the dropdown to not open (no options), and the predictive text bar shows | 1 | 2 | 3 | but I would expect the dropdown to show 1 (One), 2 (Two), 4 (Four), and the predictive text bar would update to | 1 | 2 | 4 | 2174223 3 webkit-bug-importer 2026-01-22 13:54:12 -0800 <rdar://problem/168703889> 478038 2026-01-15 13:53:13 -0800 2026-01-15 13:53:33 -0800 test case file_305598.txt text/html 450 nicolas.delafuente01 PGlucHV0IGxpc3Q9Im51bWJlcnMiIHBsYWNlaG9sZGVyPSJOdW1iZXIiIGF1dG9jb21wbGV0ZT0i b2ZmIj4NCg0KPGRhdGFsaXN0IGlkPSJudW1iZXJzIj4NCiAgPG9wdGlvbiB2YWx1ZT0iMSI+T25l PC9vcHRpb24+DQogIDxvcHRpb24gdmFsdWU9IjIiPlR3bzwvb3B0aW9uPg0KICA8b3B0aW9uIHZh bHVlPSIzIj5UaHJlZTwvb3B0aW9uPg0KICA8b3B0aW9uIHZhbHVlPSI0Ij5Gb3VyPC9vcHRpb24+ DQogIDxvcHRpb24gdmFsdWU9IjUiPkZpdmU8L29wdGlvbj4NCiAgPG9wdGlvbiB2YWx1ZT0iNiI+ U2l4PC9vcHRpb24+DQogIDxvcHRpb24gdmFsdWU9IjciPlNpeDwvb3B0aW9uPg0KICA8b3B0aW9u IHZhbHVlPSI4Ij5FaWdodDwvb3B0aW9uPg0KICA8b3B0aW9uIHZhbHVlPSI5Ij5OaW5lPC9vcHRp b24+DQogIDxvcHRpb24gdmFsdWU9IjEwIj5UZW48L29wdGlvbj4NCjwvZGF0YWxpc3Q+
