 Description   

In pre-5 versions, it was possible to use the browser-based autocomplete mechanism in dialog fields. So, that you could choose the last entered values in this dialog-field (the browser seems to memorize the values based on the name of the input element).

With Magnolia 5, Vaadin, this is not possible anymore, as the input-elements don't have a name attribute in the generated HTML.

If found an old Vaadin Ticket for this: https://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/5146 .

This issue is an usability concern of our authors.

A possible solution would be to add an `name` attribute to the generated `input` elements of the dialog.

This is no longer an issue in Magnolia versions using Vaadin 8. Closing this as obsolete.
