add more columns to a Recent selections dropdown?

[georgechen]

Hi folks,

I am trying to add additional column (named short_name) to the suggestion dropdown in the Cost Centre which is a reference field to the OOTB Cost Center table where Account Number sets to Display =True in a custom table Line Items. (see below dictionary configuration)

So in the Line Items, the Account Number can be selected and listed.     When typing any predefined number in Cost Centre, the suggestion dropdown lists all possibilities, however, is it possible to add additional column next to it?

Not sure if this has been raised before, if so would you mind giving a direction.

Thanks.

George

Yes George,

Right click on it and then click on configure list layout and then add desired column.

Hello George,

This can be done by adding columns to the dictionary attribute field i.e ref_ac_columns

Please refer below link for more info.
