Description

I would like to see multiple columns in the the autocomplete dropdown, like here: https://jsfiddle.net/MrSnrub/pk0kf0hn/. At the moment I have successfully integrated this code: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42489728/jsgrid-cutome-grid-field-with-jquery-ui-autocomplete to achieve single-column autocomplete, something like the column 'Nombre' here: https://jsfiddle.net/mgcrdvmf/6/. However, I'm struggling to display more columns in the autocomplete dropdown.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the current autocomplete field implementation in jsGrid (likely fields/autocomplete.js). Study the StackOverflow integration and the multicolumn JSFiddle example. Modify the autocomplete rendering to include a custom menu with multiple columns, adapting the jQuery UI autocomplete's renderMenu and renderItem methods.
