Problem/Motivation

In the name settings form each component has the autocomplete field type. But except for title and generational components it is not possible to assign autocomplete options for other components.

Steps to reproduce

Set the name field to autocomplete. Edit an entity wich has a name field assigned. The name field is no autocomplete but a normal text field.

Proposed resolution

Only set the autocomplete options for the correct field types. See attached patch.

After disabling the taxonomy and reenabling I found a missing setting.

There is a name autocomplete service and controller. We should get the other name components working.
