How to Set Reference Table as Dynamic based on some field data

Hi,

 

I see it is possible to filter out results returned by a reference qualifier based on some criteria. This is like we set Reference field looking up table "X" which has 10 records and creating a script include which returns query that returns only some of them.

 

My question is about dynamically creating a reference to table X, where X comes from another reference field that references sys_db_object.


Ex : User looks up a table from a reference field, say sys_processor, now another field should show records in sys_processor, but this is not a fixed table. Any idea how can I achieve this?

You can get the record in same script include and display record as string in field B based on table name.

Thanks for your time, not sure if I am not clear enough. Once I get hold of A value in script include called by ref qualifier of B (I am unsure whether we can have a ref qualifier to return value for a string value similar to a reference field), I cannot do any scripting and return string data to show on field B. 

I want users to select the table, and also the record on selected table. I can get the table name in script include, but the answer for record should come from user.

If the table is not fixed, then it may not be possible to achieve.
