Remove the "cheat" bubble on a Text Entry?

STL Version 3.96.338150.0 Windows 10

I have a text entry box on a slide.

You enter 15 and press Enter

But when you click in the box, it displays the choice as a drop down?

How can I remove that from the Text Entry box? 

See screenshot attached

Thanks!

  • That is likely the browser convenience autofill function. Just like when you fill out text fields online, and your info autopopulates. Your users  probably won't see them if they've never filled out the form before. You're probably seeing them because you've been testing. 

    You may be able to disable them with some JavaScript  and the suggestions from this site:

    You should decide if it is really necessary and worth the effort though.

  • Browser stuff is kinda what I thought. Just wanted to double check! Thank you!

    You can attempt to override the browser’s default behavior using JavaScript. It worked for some community members. Execute JavaScript when the timeline starts:

    const inputs = document.querySelectorAll('.acc-textinput');
    
    inputs.forEach((input) => {
        input.setAttribute('autocomplete', 'off');
    });
