I'm not sure I understood. Where exactly do you expect the auto-filled value to be saved?

There is a common misconception about linked fields: All linked fields are ALWAYS linked based on the ID field. The Name field is only used for display. When you are using auto-fill to show fields in a drop-down other than the Name field, this is only for display and is never saved. Internally, the link is done via the ID field.
