How to hide certain attributes for reference field searches

[Michael H1]

Apologies in advance if this is not under the correct forum and topic.

I am adding a reference variable to a Record Producer that is to be searchable with a set of columns. However, a date column is displaying alongside it, and I do not know how to hide it. The variable attributes are as follows:

 ref_ac_columns=col_variable,ref_ac_columns_search=true,ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter

At first, I thought this was including the sys_created_on field inadvertently, but if I add that to ref_ac_columns, it is added as an additional column in the reference field search and it says "Created On ....", which is different than the date displayed on the left. I am unsure of where this date in the left hand column is coming from and how to hide it or remove it from view.

For information, this reference variable maps to a reference field that is a reference to another custom table. The reference field has the same attributes as on the Record Producer.

I figured out a solution after attempting some troubleshooting on my end. Although no fields on this custom table had Display set as true, I set the custom column that is blacked out here with Display as true, and the Created fields ceased to display. It appears that without setting a specific field with Display as true results in one being used automatically? I don't know if this is an issue or expected behavior but since I needed to display the custom column anyways in the search, marking Display as true for it was no problem.

Thank you for sharing this solution, I had the same issue and setting the table column display value to true eliminated the "created" field that was showing up in the reference variable.
