Autocomplete field in a submission form - dspace 7.5

Hello, everybody!

Is it possible to put an autocomplete field on the item submission form? We have a large list of possible authors and an autocomplete field would do just fine. I know there are options for hierarchical controlled lists, but what about autocomplete, is it possible?

For example, when inserting an item, we use an autocomplete field to discover the collection where the item will be inserted:

I would like to use an autocomplete field in a submission form field, like this:

Hi Aroldo, 

I don't think there is an autocomplete feature...but there are ways to control field (Authority Control of Metadata Values 

We used to do that for authors in DSpace 6 using SolR Authority. In DSpace 7, we use the configurable entity (person and publication relationship), it allows to search for authors when adding authors to a publications as shown in attached print screen (however, it is much more complex than autocomplete...): 

Best,

This question was cross posted to all lists.  Just wanted to note that I also gave an answer to it on the dspace-devel list.  (Pierre is correct that this doesn't exist, but there are similar options)
