I want to change the location table column list view   for a reference type variable.

I have a catalog item on which i have a reference type variable and when we click on the reference lookup search icon a reference table open a list view and this list view have different column view and I want to show new view of the list of the table(i have created new list view ).

So how to show a different view on the reference field lookup ?

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.

Thanks for replay but it will change the reference view of the table .Means if i use this table as reference field then it will reference it will show the same view everywhere?


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.
