Autocomplete custom data bug

[[email protected]…]

get this error in our code and even on the demos page when trying to set custom data like:

.data( "autocomplete" )._renderItem = function( ul, item ) {

return $( "<li>" )

.append( "<a>" + item.label + "<br>" + item.desc + "</a>" ) .appendTo( ul );

};

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property '_renderItem' of undefined in cutom-data.html line 66.

Duplicate of #8992.

I get this is a duplicate issue of #8992, but this is no resolution. It was closed as "notabug" but the bug still exist on your own demo: ​http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#custom-data. What are we supposed to do here?

It'll be fixed with in about a week when the next release comes out.
