How to override Display column on a child CI table in the data dictionary

Hi ServiceNow Community Developers,

I have a table called u_cmdb_ci_disk_enclosure which is a child table of cmdb_ci. Currently this table has a display value of "name" (i.e. Display = true in the data dictionary) which means that every time this table is referenced the column that will be displayed is name. This table inherits this behavior from its parent table cmdb_ci. I would like to override the display column on this child table so that it uses the serial number as the display column instead of name. Would you please advise as to how do I go about doing that.

Thanks,
Johannes

Create a dictionary override on the field called serial number in the child table and check the override display value
