How to display only Multi-Row Variable Set (MRVS) data from a Record Producer on the Incident form?

[Nikhil C]

Hi everyone,

I'm working with a Record Producer that creates records in the Incident table. The Record Producer includes a Multi-Row Variable Set (MRVS) named mobile_devices_set, which contains variables like device_type, storage, color, and quantity.

I want to display only the MRVS data on the Incident form after submission.

I’ve tried using the default UI Macro:
com_glideapp_questionset_default_question_editor
and added the Variable Editor formatter to the Incident form. This works, but it displays all variables from the Record Producer — I only want the MRVS data to be shown.

Is there a way to:

• Create a custom UI Macro that renders only the MRVS?
• Or configure the Variable Editor to filter and show only specific variable sets?

Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Nikhil C,

You can achieve this by using a Catalog UI Policy on your Record Producer to selectively hide non-MRVS variables from the target record (i.e. the Incident form), while still displaying your Multi-Row Variable Set (MRVS) data.

• Open the Record Producer that creates records in the Incident table.
• In the Catalog UI Policies related list, click New and configure the policy as follows:

  • Name: Hide Non-MRVS Variables

  • Applies on a Catalog Item view: False (Uncheck)

  • Applies on the Target Record: True (Check)

  • On Load: True (Check)

  • Reverse if false: False (Uncheck)

• Click Submit to save the policy and open the Catalog UI Policy again.

• Scroll to the Catalog UI Policy Actions related list.

• For each non-MRVS variable you want to hide:

  • Click New.

  • Set:

    • Variable name: Select the non-mrvs variable

    • Visible:False

  • Click Submit

@Nikhil C 

then hide the other variables using Catalog UI policy and Applies on Target Record

No other way to handle that.
