Limit what tables can be selected for a custom "Reference" column

[Matthew Glenn]

From what I can gather, when adding a custom "Reference" column to a board, the available tables available are limited to what the current user has read-access to.

Is it possible to further limit what tables can be referenced? We'd like to keep this list very, very small (a few task-extended tables and a handful of CMDB tables). Is that possible? Or is the filter that manages this field off-limits to customers?

To illustrate my request, I'd like to only see two of the tables below when I type in "Request"

Or if I type in "Incident", I'd like to only see the incident table

Hi Matthew,

Your understanding is correct. We show the tables visible to the end user.
But if you like to restrict these, it would be customisation in UI Builder.
The data resource "CWM Look up tables" in Board macroponent (UI Builder > Collaborative work management experience > CWM Home > Right viewport > Board) fetches these tables.
We need to append your query along with search query being passed to this particular backend call.

Let me know if you need more details.

Thank you, Sunil.

That's enough to get me pointed in the right direction. I'm not all that familiar with UI Builder, but this is all the more reason to study up on it.

Appreciate your help
