Hi @koopg. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
To use
useAutocomplete for more than one field in refine, you can simply call the hook multiple times, once for each field you want to create an autocomplete for. Here's how you can do it:
1. Call useAutocomplete for each field:
2. Then use these props in separate Autocomplete components:
Here's a more complete example showing how you might use this in a form:
```jsx
import { Create, useAutocomplete } from "@refinedev/mui";
import { Box, Autocomplete, TextField } from "@mui/material";
import { useForm, Controller } from "react-hook-form";
const PostCreate = () => {
const {
saveButtonProps,
register,
control,
formState: { errors },
} = useForm();
const { autocompleteProps: categoryAutocompleteProps } = useAutocomplete({
resource: "categories",
});
const { autocompleteProps: authorAutocompleteProps } = useAutocomplete({
resource: "authors",
});
return (
<Create saveButtonProps={saveButtonProps}>
<Box component="form">
<Controller
control={control}
name="category"
rules={{ required: "This field is required" }}
render={({ field }) => (
<Autocomplete
{...categoryAutocompleteProps}
{...field}
onChange={(, value) => {
field.onChange(value);
}}
renderInput={(params) => (
<TextField
{...params}
label="Category"
margin="normal"
variant="outlined"
error={!!errors.category}
helperText={errors.category?.message}
required
/>
)}
/>
)}
/>
<Controller
control={control}
name="author"
rules={{ required: "This field is required" }}
render={({ field }) => (
<Autocomplete
{...authorAutocompleteProps}
{...field}
onChange={(_, value) => {
field.onChange(value);
}}
renderInput={(params) => (
<TextField
{...params}
label="Author"
margin="normal"
variant="outlined"
error={!!errors.author}
helperText={errors.author?.message}
required
/>
)}
/>
)}
/>
</Box>
</Create>
);
};
```
This approach allows you to create multiple autocomplete fields, each connected to a different resource or with different configurations as needed.

@kapa.ai I am getting the same data from both for some reasone
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
I apologize for the confusion you're experiencing. Based on the information you've provided, it seems that you're getting the same data for multiple
useAutocomplete fields when you expect them to be different. This is not the expected behavior, and there could be a few reasons for this issue. Let's explore some possible causes and solutions:
1. Check your resource names:
Make sure you're using the correct and different resource names for each useAutocomplete call. For example:
Ensure that "categories" and "authors" are indeed different resources in your API.
2. Verify your data provider:
Check if your data provider is correctly handling requests for different resources. The issue might be in how the data provider is responding to these requests.
3. Use different dataProviderName if applicable:
If you're using multiple data providers, make sure you're specifying the correct dataProviderName for each useAutocomplete call:
Data Provider Name Documentation
4. Check for any custom onSearch functions:
If you've defined custom onSearch functions, ensure they're returning the correct filters for each resource.
5. Investigate network requests:
Use your browser's developer tools to check the network requests being made. Verify that the correct endpoints are being called for each resource.
6. Consider using defaultValue:
If the issue persists, you can try setting a defaultValue for each useAutocomplete to see if it affects the data fetching:
Default Value Documentation
If you've checked all these points and the issue persists, it might be a bug in the refine framework. In that case, I recommend opening an issue on the refine GitHub repository with a minimal reproducible example. This will allow the refine team to investigate and provide a more specific solution.

Remember, without seeing your exact implementation or having more details about your setup, it's challenging to pinpoint the exact cause. If you can provide more specific information about your implementation, I'd be happy to help further.

OK I have found the issue it was the backend.
