Hi,
I thought that using ref_ac_columns on a form reference field allowed you to display multiple fields in the selection list. But I haven't been able to get this to work. Is there something else that allows you to show multiple table fields in the reference dropdown that I'm missing? Basically, we have created a reference table with a title and description. The users will need to see the description in order to select the appropriate title.
Thanks,
Karen

Use this as a template :
ref_ac_columns=u_level2_code;u_level2_name;u_level1_code;name,ref_ac_columns_search=true,ref_ac_display_value=false,ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter

Hi,
Check this out, very well described.
Auto-complete for reference fields | ServiceNow Docs
From what I understand, you already have a table created. Now you need to add attribute to the reference field, where you are going to point to this new table of yours.
