SharePoint - Cannot convert a primitive value to the expected type 'Edm.Double'. See the inner exception for more details

If you see this kind of error, make sure that is because the value which you are passing doesnt match with the data type present in the sharepoint list column

make sure what ever you are sending to sharepoint list matches the column data type, to figure out which column is causing the error, remove one by one column/filed in the item which you are passing or else you can check the error.responseText in error

Suggestions or Auto populate values in textbox using JQuery and C#(SharePoint 2013)

I have done this on SharePoint application page which is deployed under layouts folder, this can be also used in .net applications.
below is images shows you populated suggestions that are saved in database

First fill the data inside a gridview/table with fields that you need to auto populate
this can be done based on your coding capabilities

once you do it hide the table so that anyone cannot see it using CSS or code in my case i did with CSS
.GridHide is my class for hiding gridview and below other two classed is used to autocomplete list

<style type="text/css">
.GrdHide {
display:none;
}
ul.ui-autocomplete {
list-style: none;
}
.ui-autocomplete {
height: 200px;
overflow-y: scroll;
overflow-x: hidden;

}
</style>

Code in JQuery to populate table data inside textbox i did this for two textboxes for project name and project number you can repeat the same as many columns you want

function GetData() {
var MYProjNumb = new Array();
var MYProjName = new Array();

var table = $("#ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_hiddenGrd tbody"); //my table ID

table.find('tr').each(function (i) {
var $tds = $(this).find('td'),
ProjectNumber = $tds.eq(0).text(),
ProjectName = $tds.eq(1).text(),

//alert('Row ' + (i + 1) + ':\npNumber: ' + ProjectNumber
// + '\nPName: ' + ProjectName);
MYProjNumb.push(ProjectNumber);
MYProjName.push(ProjectName);

});
ProjNumber(MYProjNumb);
ProjName(MYProjName);
}
function ProjNumber(list) {
var PJlst = GetUnique(list);
$("[id*=txtProjNum]").autocomplete({
source: PJlst,
select: function (event, ui) {
}
});
}
function ProjName(list) {
var PNLst = GetUnique(list);
$("[id*=txtProjectName]").autocomplete({
source: PNLst,
select: function (event, ui) {
}
});
}

to display only unique values in auto suggestion box then use the below code

function GetUnique(list)
{
var unique = list.filter(function (itm, i, a) {
return i == a.indexOf(itm);
});
return unique;
}

call the above GetData() method on load of page
