Display Value set to True but not showing

[Cirrus]

New to ServiceNow so may have completely misunderstood this.

I have created a new reference field in one table which references cmn_cost_center. Looking at System Definition/Dictionary, the 'true' display value on the cost table is Code, yet when I click on the magnifying glass on my new field, I see only the Name field of the cmn_cost_center table. I would have thought it should return the display value which is Code??

There are no dictionary overrides that I am aware of.

Any ideas as to why this is

Thanks

You can contol what columns to show on the lookup by right clicking on the header of list -> configure -> list layout. All columns on the right side here will show on the list lookup.

Display Value is what you will see when you have selected a record in the reference field. You will see the code there.
