Disable autocomplete/autofill

[tomdchi]

Having a real problem lately with chrome wanting to autofill many fields in a large ExtJS application even when autofill is disabled in chrome. Is there anything I can set to disable this for the entire application?

This is an issue with Chrome dating back to 2015. Chrome ignores the W3C specification for autocomplete=off and are doing their own thing. There have actually been several issues created for Chrome. One such issue is #468153. This was opened March 17, 2015 and given an updated status of "WontFix" and then closed in March of 2016.

So no, there isn't anything you can do other than create convoluted code generating random naming conventions that would solve this issue Google refuses to fix.

Extjs is the Framework that must handle this, we know is powerfull in handling browser compatibility with old browsers , I guess you will provide some fixes for lastest one's.

one jquery plugin has done this: https://github.com/terrylinooo/jquery.disableAutoFill

now seems that the problem is not only autocomplete=off, but also the name. I like to have my forms with correct name when I use form.getValues() and have {name: 'Name', description: 'Desc...'} for some entities that don't represents user name for example.

but the big problem is with "combo boxes" and tag fields that have name like "language", "languages"

i'm using:

Ext.define('SDL.overrides.form.field.Text', {
    override: 'Ext.form.field.Text',


    afterRender: function () {
        this.callParent(arguments);


        // fix https://www.sencha.com/forum/showthread.php?471764
        if (Ext.isChrome) {
            this.inputEl.set({
                autocomplete: this.name ? 'new-' + this.name : 'none'
            });
        }
    }
});

@sencha team, any updates on this one? what if on render time names are not rendered in inputs? or some random key is prefixed to current name? will that work to get the normal name on getValues()? what implications will have,,.. seems that soon we can't use any combos because of this auto complete problem.
