save value to autocomplete page field

[sakkoulas]

Hello,

how can i set autocomplete field value from api. 

i have try with 

$page = wire('pages')->get(1);
$page->of(false);
$page->autocompleteField = 7111;
$page->save();
$page->of(true);

but doesn't work.

thank you.

Because an autocomplete inputfield is connected to a page field, you are dealing with an array, so try this:

$page->autocompleteField->add(7111);
