how to control a reference field display value

[Alon Grod]

Hi,

I have the OOB field 'supplier' on sn_slm_case table which is reference to sn_fin_supplier table.

I change the display value on the sn_fin_supplier table from 'legal name' field to 'number' fields (display = true)

When I populate the supplier field i still see the legal name and not the number, any idea why?

Hello @Alon Grod ,

check for the attributes of legal name field (if it is overriding) :

Hi @Alon Grod,

Please check if Legal name has Display attribute and checkbox enabled. Disable them.

@Alon Grod 

legal name field is from top table "sn_fin_organization" and not from "sn_fin_supplier"

sn_fin_supplier extends sn_fin_organization

Also there is an OOTB dictionary override on legal name field of "sn_fin_organization" table which sets Legal name as Display=true for "sn_fin_supplier"

1) Delete that Dictionary override record from related list i.e. below image

2) Then mark Number field on "sn_fin_supplier" as Display=True
