Hi Everyone, any idea on how to modify the auto complete feature in a reference type variable.

i have this issue with a variable referenced to sys_user table. it only allows you to enter first name of a user so that the auto complete will work.

is it possible to modify this so that it accept either first name or the last name of user ?

Put below in "variable attributes" in default value tab.



ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter,ref_ac_columns=first_name;last_name,ref_ac_columns_search=true,ref_ac_display_value=false

Hi Vikas,


  base on the   suggestion of the link you provided


i tried to modify the dectionary entry in sys_user table and added the following values in the attribute field


      ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter,ref_ac_columns=first_name;last_name,ref_ac_columns_search=true,ref_ac_display_value=false


still it doesn't give the result i expected. what i want is if i type the last name "Tuter" then it will show "Abel Tuter".


Did You try just below ?


ref_ac_columns=last_name;


here's where i put the code
