I’m working with a view model that contains collections displayed in MudTables. I need to edit complex items in these tables and implement search functionality using MudAutocomplete.

Here’s the issue: I’ve bound the context item of the table to the autocomplete value. However, when I search for an item, the original value doesn’t change. I also can’t clear the autocomplete, and the validation isn’t triggered.

I expect to be able to modify the value in the autocomplete input and change the context element in the associated items in the table.

we have this try mudblazor as example

Here’s a simplified version of my code:

                        <MudText Typo="Typo.h4" Style="text-transform: uppercase">S&P Team</MudText>
                        <MudTable Items="@_selectedTeam.TeamMembers" Dense="true" CanCancelEdit="true" HorizontalScrollbar="true" Breakpoint="Breakpoint.None">
