I am changing the configuration of an existing catalog item variables from a Lookup Select Box to a Reference type.
Deactivating the LSB type and adding Reference type pointing to same custom table field.
Current
vs_department lookup select box custom table retrives field text value
Future
vs_department_ref reference same custom table retrives same field text value
g_form.getDisplayBox('variable').value;
Desire
Combine the values from old variable & new varialbe into one column on a report/dashboard report to make it easy for agents to search for department without worrying about 2 different variables (and type).
Changing old variable from LSB to Ref makes old values go away for saved RITMs/Tasks.

Hi @kshaw ,
Why don't use the functional field on the report and do the concat operation of these two fields
FYI: Functional fields are also part the table.
Thank you,

To be clear, these are variables on a cat item, not fields.
