How to change the reference fields to be contains instead of startswith

[Alon Grod]

HI,

i tried to make the reference fields to work not only with a 'startwith' query but 'contains'.so far only the fields that are referencing the sys_user table work with 'contains' because i change the value of the system property -"glide.ui.ref_ac.startswith' from true to false.i want it to work on all of the reference fields of all tables not just the sys_user ones.thanks for the help

Hello @Alon Grod 

Greetings!

it should work for all tables I believe. (unless those tables have exclusive property)

have you tried log out and log in back or clearing cache?

you can also create for the tables you want from user preferences.

1. Go to User Preferences 
2. Create a new with name "<table name>.autocomplete.contains" //the table for which you want.
3. select the "System" checkbox
4. Change the "type" to "true|false"
5. and Value to "true"

Please hit the thumb and Mark as correct based on Impact!!

Hello @Alon Grod 

did you try logging out and logging back in?

or clearing the system cache by cache.do command?
