FormTokenField: Suggestion should be an array of TokenItem datatype instead of an array of string

[SH4LIN]

What problem does this address?

• In the Suggestion box we are only allowed to add an array of strings The problem with that is it doesn't allow to provide slug/key a unique value to identify which item is added to the list.
• TokenItem is returned in the onChange event but the suggestion should also allow an array of TokenItem.

What is your proposed solution?

• Change the Suggestion Data type from array of string to array of TokenItem.

Thanks for posting an issue!

We've received two similar requests/reports in the past:

• FormTokenField with Object as suggestions creates an error on input #57724
• FormTokenField: Issues with multiple identical strings #62533

Do the discussions in those threads provide sufficient reasoning for why we don't really need it to be an array of objects?
