Auto Complete is not validating against the source
Pega out of the box control Auto-Complete gives you the ability to type in few characters and based on the characters it gives you back the results based on the Source provided which can be Data page, RD etc. Auto-Complete as a control does not validate the value selected or typed in manually is valid according to the source list of values. so as a scenario, I have a Language dropdown coming from Data page which has following values: 1. Telugu 2. English 3. French with this configured in Auto-Complete, I can type in Hindi and submit the form and validation would not trigger for the Auto-Complete value. I have to explicitly do validation in post activity for every Auto-Complete I have on my screen. Is there a workaround solution for this ?

You need to write your own script for this. There is a nice example with detail steps given here - https://collaborate.pega.com/question/autocomplete-validation

I have seen these posts and tried the JS approach mentioned in the post also, but that did not work on 8.4.2. As Pega Div structure is not same as pega 7.x.
So i just wanted to check like whether we got any OOTB alternative for this.
