valueFieldName not working

[stinkokenzo]

const countries = [
	{ _id: 1, name: "America" },
	{ _id: 2, name: "Canada" },
	{ _id: 3, name: "China" },
	{ _id: 4, name: "France" },
	{ _id: 5, name: "Germany" },
	{ _id: 6, name: "India" },
	{ _id: 7, name: "Italy" },
	{ _id: 8, name: "Japan" },
	{ _id: 9, name: "Mexico" },
	{ _id: 10, name: "Russia" },
	{ _id: 11, name: "Spain" },
	{ _id: 12, name: "United Kingdom" },
	{ _id: 13, name: "United States" },
]

let country;

<AutoComplete
	name="country"
	placeholder="Select a Country"
	items={countries}
	bind:selectedItem={country}
	labelFunction={(item) => item.name}
	valueFieldName="_id"
/>

The value submitted by the form is the name of the Country and not the _id . Also tried with valueFunction but same issue.
