How to enable the OOB info icon next to a custom field which is of reference type

[SAS21]

Have a custom field 'Requester on Behalf' which is of reference type pointing to User table. How to enable the out of the box information icon that will preview the user's details ?

Hello @SAS21 ,

This is a read-only field. That is the reason why the icon is not visible. Make the field editable and the icon will appear.

Or you can add the following attribute to the Dictionary record of this field:

readonly_clickthrough=true

Robert

@SAS21 

since the field is readonly the i icon won't be show. that OOTB behavior

make this property to false: 'glide.ui.reference.readonly.clickthrough' -> this will be a global change

add this in the field dictionary attributes if you want to show that

readonly_clickthrough=true

Reference field icon

Hello @SAS21 ,

You are correct, I missed that small detail in the earlier screen shot. I have adjusted my answer.

PS: I did not even know that someone can mark their own message as the correct answer 🙂

reference i icon shows for every reference field if it has value in it

Share some screenshots for your form where that field is there
