I have the autocomplete field with custom values.
If I check the box "Include existing submission values." then the values I added via the field configuration interface don't show up as I start typing in the form. Only the values from previous submissions show up. If I uncheck the "Include existing submission values." box then only the values that are listed in field configuration show up.

I don't know, maybe this is how it supposed to work, but my understanding is that values listed in the field configuration should show up either way - whether above mentioned box is check or unchecked. If that is the case, then this might be a bug.

Right now only autocompletion using existing values or custom options is supported but not both options at the same time. The UI does not make this clear.

I think supporting both options at the same time will create unpredictable results. For example, should existing or custom options be searched for first.

I am going to fix the UI to require that site builder to select between existing or custom options.
