Why does Vuetify Autocomplete not selecting the data being set? - vue.js

Question

I use Vuetify autocomplete as a reusable component to display a list of jobs in key/value pairs. In creating record, the component works fine but when editing where data should be filled in, the data has the value but not showing on the component.
JobDropdownSelector.vue:
................................................................................................................................................
<template>
<v-autocomplete
v-model="job"
label="Job Designation"
item-value="id"
item-text="name"
return-object
:items="jobs"
#change="onChange"
>
</v-autocomplete>
</template>
<script>
export default {
props: {
selectedJob: {
type: Object,
default: null
}
},
data() {
return {
jobs: [],
job: null
};
},
methods: {
getDataFromApi() {
axios.get("api/jobs")
.then(response => {
this.jobs = response.data.data;
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(error);
reject();
});
},
onChange(e) {
this.job = e;
this.$emit("onChange", e);
}
},
watch: {
selectedJob: {
deep: true,
immediate: true,
handler(newValue, oldValue) {
this.job = newValue;
}
}
},
mounted() {
this.getDataFromApi();
}
};
</script>
EditForm.vue:
................................................................................................................................................
<template>
<div>
<JobDropdownSelector
v-model="job"
:selectedJob="job"
#onChange="onChangeJob"
>
</JobDropdownSelector>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import JobDropdownSelector from "../components/JobDropdownSelector";
export default {
components: {
JobDropdownSelector
},
data() {
return {
job: null
};
},
methods: {
onChangeJob(e) {
this.job = e;
},
getInitialJob() {
axios.get("api/jobs/22").then(response => {
this.job = response.data.data;
});
}
},
mounted() {
this.getInitialJob();
}
};
</script>

It looks like you overriding job twice: on the onChangeJob method and via v-model on JobDropdownSelector.
You can try use input event to update modek instead of emitting additional event.
JobDropdownSelector.vue
methods: {
onChange(e) {
// You don't need set job because it's connected via v-model.
// this.job = e;
this.$emit("input", e);
}
}
This will cause that job in EditForm.vue should update automatically after dropdown change.
