jQuery autocomplete selection event

Question

I have created jQuery UI autocomplete which is working very good. But my requirement is that what I display as list should also select same in text box. But it is not selecting For example list like XXX (XYZ) but when I select it only select XXX not XXX (XYZ) what I am missing !!

function getDeptStations() { $("#txDestination").autocomplete({   source: function (request, response) {     var term = request.term;     var Query = "";     if (lang === "en")       Query = "City_Name_EN";     else if (lang === "fr")       Query = "City_Name_FR";     if (lang === "de")       Query = "City_Name_DE";     if (lang === "ar")       Query = "City_Name_AR";     var requestUri = "/_api/lists/getbytitle('Stations')/items?$select=City_Code," + Query + "&$filter=startswith(" + Query + ",'" + term + "')";     $.ajax({       url: requestUri,       type: "GET",       async: false,       headers: {         "ACCEPT": "application/json;odata=verbose"       }     }).done(function (data) {       if (data.d.results) {         response($.map(eval(data.d.results), function (item) {           return {             label: item[Query] + " (" + item.City_Code + ")",             value: item[Query],             id: item[Query]           }         }));       }       else {        }     });   },   response: function (event, ui) {     if (!ui.content.length) {       var noResult = { value: "", label: "No cities matching your request" };       ui.content.push(noResult);     }   },   select: function (event, ui) {     $("#txDestination").val(ui.item.label);             cityID = ui.item.id;   },   minLength: 1 });  }

Almost there, just return a false from select event.

select: function (event, ui) {     $("#txDestination").val(ui.item.label);             cityID = ui.item.id;     return false;   }, 

or Simply

select: function (event, ui) {                   alert(ui.item.id);           return false;   }, 

This will guide jquery autocomplete to know that select has set a value.

Update: This is not in the documentation, I figured out by digging into source code, took me some time. But indeed it deserves to be in the doc or in options.
