Hide auto complete in reference variable

[Fabricio4]

Hello!

I'm trying to disable the auto complete list that appears as you type in the variable. I have tried using "Variable attributes", but nothing worked.

For instance, this variable is a reference to the sys_user table. I don't want users to see other possible users in the list for security reasons. If possible, I'd want to completely eliminate any auto complete choice, even when there's a perfect match, and only accept the choice after typing the string perfectly and pressing enter. If there was a perfect match, the choice would be filled, if not, the variable would return empty.

Is that possible without a client script? And if not, how would that client script look like?

Have you tried setting for the variable the attribute ref_ac_columns_search to false?

OR

try setting some wrong value inside ref_auto_completer

something like this ref_auto_completer=AJAXReferenceCompleterTest

OR

Last Option

I believe the only way is to update system property but it would impact entire instance

Disable system property "glide.ui.ref_ac.startswith". OR set the value to false.

I've tried those, but didn't work. I also thought that setting ref_ac_columns_search or ref_ac_display_value

to false would work, but it produced no effect.

The last option wouldn't work for me, as I only want this behavior for one particular variable.

with the last option it would impact entire instance

Hello @Fabricio4 ,

Is your issue resolved?

Can you please tell me how you fixed as I also have the same requirement.

Thanks,
