Hi all
I have a refernce field on a catalog which is refering to asset table.
it should display the contract number , but after selecting contract number from the pop-up view ,its sill displaying serial number on the form.
it should display contract details instead of serial number.
thanks in advance....!

Hi @tarun43,
The reference field display value is depends upon the column with attribute as display=true. It will be single column with display as true. If you change it to different column, it will reflect every reference field used.
For reference: Select a field as the table display value
Thanks,

Hi @tarun43 ,
Go to asset table and make the contract field display to true (FYI: it would change the display in all the asset reference)
Thank you,

Hi @tarun43,
The display value id defined in dictionary attribute. If needed you can change the column which can be shown. But this change impacts all the places where this table is used. Thanks.
