Hi Karun,
If I understand you correct, you can either A) configure the list from that popup, B) Create a new view called sys_ref_list.

The sys_ref_list view is only specific to the popup that appears when you click the magnifying glass. It does not apply elsewhere. If you have other reference fields that reference the same table (for example sys_user) then yes, that list view will be used on those popups also.
