React Autocomplete pre-selected value for checked item on opened does not work!

I am trying to use with react autocomplete but I do not see why there is no way to set a preselected value marked as checked before open page or popup because it is not refreshing this also in opened I cannot make the item checked because it does not update the values in view!

here my code

const onPageInit = () => {

  console.log('onPageInit');
  const $ = f7.$;

    // Standalone With Ajax
    autocompleteStandaloneAjax.current = f7.autocomplete.create({
      openIn: 'page', // open in page
      openerEl: '#autocomplete-brand a', // link that opens autocomplete
      multiple: false, // allow multiple values
      valueProperty: 'id', // object's "value" property name
      textProperty: 'name', // object's "text" property name
      limit: 50,
      requestSourceOnOpen: true,
      preloader: true, // enable preloader
      closeOnSelect: false, // go back after we select something
      source(query, render) {

        const autocomplete = this;
        const results = [];

        /*if (query.length === 0) {
          render(results);
          return;
        }*/

        // Show Preloader
        autocomplete.preloaderShow();

            // Do Ajax request to Autocomplete data
            const variables = {
              limit: 500,
            };
    
            const result = client.graphql({
              query: listBrands.replaceAll("__typename", ""),
              variables
            })
            .then((res) => {
    
              console.log({res});
              var items = res?.data?.listBrands.items;
    
              for (let i = 0; i < items; i += 1) {
                if (items[i].name.toLowerCase().indexOf(query.toLowerCase()) >= 0)
                  results.push(items[i]);
              }
    
              // Hide Preoloader
              autocomplete.preloaderHide();
              // Render items by passing array with result items
              render(results);
    
            });

      },
      on: {
        opened(type, el) {

          const ac = this;
          const app = ac.app;
          const $el = $(el);      
      
          console.log({ac, app, $el, type})
          ac.value = [ac.items[5]] //I tried to set this manually here because from the html code is not passing it and changes the value in console but not in view
          ac.updateValues(); //does not update anything in view only if I close and open again I see the pre selected item checked

        },
        change(value) {
          const itemText = [];
          const inputValue = [];
          for (let i = 0; i < value.length; i += 1) {
            itemText.push(value[i].name);
            inputValue.push(value[i].id);
          }
          // Add item text value to item-after
          $('#autocomplete-standalone-ajax').find('.item-after').text(itemText.join(', '));
          // Add item value to input value
          $('#autocomplete-standalone-ajax').find('input').val(inputValue.join(', '));
        },
      },
    });

....


      
}

in the page I use the react component and if I set After it shows the item name correctly but the value is not being passed also in the hidden input not passing to the autocomplete value!

        <ListItem link="#" id="autocomplete-brand" 
          title="Brand" 
          after={Brand ? Brand.brandTitle :''}  
          value={Brand ? Brand : ''}  
          valueProperty={Brand ? Brand.id : ''} 
          textProperty={Brand ? Brand.brandTitle : ''}>
          <input type="hidden" value={Brand ? Brand.id : ''}  />
        </ListItem>

so how do I to set pre selected value to mark an item checked on opened autocomplete?

any ideas?
thanks
