We have a Custom table that is being used in various Catalog Items, mostly in List Collector fields. On one of our Catalog Items, they wish to show some other field other than the designated Table "Display" field. I know how to use the Variable Attributes to display more than one field in the List Collector drop-down box, but is there a way to hide the "Display" field, so that some other field is the first one listed in the List Collector drop-down box?
It doesn't matter to me if the selected values shown in the List Collector box are the "Display" fields. We just want to know if there is a way to hide it from view in the drop-down selection box.
Thanks

Hi,
You can add ref_ac_display_value=false field attribute to hide display column

No, that does not work on Catalog Items.
I found an old post that seems to confirm that too: https://community.servicenow.com/community?id=community_question&sys_id=3174cd14db45d3c02b6dfb651f961929

If I was dealing with a Reference field (single selection), using a Lookup Select Box as shown here might work: https://community.servicenow.com/community?id=community_question&sys_id=09a0d392dbe314d0b1b102d5ca96193d. However, I am working with a List Collector field (multiple selections allowed), so I unfortunately cannot use that method.

Unfortunately, there is no option for removing the display name, you only can have additional columns in place, so to deal with ambiguous names.
