Display a different column on reference field

I am building a new catalog item. I have a reference field pulling from pm_project. I would like to display the Project Number in the field instead of the Project Description when the user selects it from the list.

You can the change the display value by setting 'Display' attribute for your desired column to true.

table list view->configure->table-> go to columns

That makes sense that they force only one field to be displayed.

When I go to that table, the Number field is the one set to true. But when I add that field to a form, the description is displayed.

The other weird thing is when I go to my developer instance, the Number and Description fields are set to true.

So there has to be an override to allow me to display, for this drop-down only, the Number field instead of the description field?

 

You need to override dictionary of TAsk  table for number column on pm_project table  to resolve this issue.

 

- Navigate to dictionary override of short description column for pm_project table and make "override display value" to false like below

- Navigate to dictionary override for number column for pm_project table and make override display value to true like below

That would have been what I would want to do. However, that affects all reference fields that use the pm_project table. I only wanted it on this one field.

did you get solution for this?
