How to hide full name using auto-complete for reference field

[miro2]

Hi,

Does anyone know why I can’t hide the Full Name in the portal and instead show only the First Name and Last Name?

ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter,ref_ac_columns=first_name;last_name;email;user_name,ref_ac_columns_search=true,ref_ac_display_value=false

This is what I should see according to SN docs

Is it because ref_ac_display_value=false doesn’t work for catalog items, so I can’t see it in the portal, and it only works on forms?

Yes, ref_ac_display_value doesn't seem to apply to Catalog Item variables, only table fields for some reason.  Your same attributes used as an override on the Assigned to for Problem, looks like this in my instance:

@Brad Bowman Thanks for the quick reply. I've just tested it, and it works for forms only. Is there any workaround to hide the Full Name column?

@miro2 

the name field holds first + last name and OOTB that's the field which is display=true

Hence you can't avoid this
