[OutSystems Maps] Search Places Widget and PlaceID

Hi

I'm using the Search Places Widget to get an address. 

It works up to a point. 

The autocomplete works and the OnChange event fires. 

Inside the OnChange Event I am calling the REST API from Google to retrieve the full address. But i need to pass it the Place ID which I assumed would be in the SearchPlacesId input variable on the event. But this does not seem to contain what I'm expecting. 

Anybody else managed to get this working?

OnPlaceSelect event. Not OnChange.

Hi @Stephen Chown 

It seems there is a version-related issue in some older builds of OutSystems Maps. PlaceId is only populated when a suggestion is selected from dropdown, NOT when user types and presses enter manually.
