Hide auto complete in reference variable

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?

I have not found a solution, so the client dropped the requirement.

If you end up discovering a solution, please let us know.

Hi @Fabricio4 ,

 

As Ankur suggested, I have updated the variable attribute as below and it worked.

"ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleterTEST,ref_ac_columns=u_name,ref_ac_columns_search=false"

TEST can be replaced by any String
u_name is the column name which becomes visible after you select.

It turns off the disables auto-search behavior.
