list edit missing magnifying glass on field

[samhull]

Hello,

I am trying to allow list edit for a field on one of my custom tables but I can't seem to get it to work for one field. This table only has a few fields on it and 3 of them are Reference fields. One references the Company table, another the CI table, and the other references another custom table called 'Title'. When trying to edit these fields in list view, clicking on the Company field or CI field shows the magnifying glass so the user can choose the company or CI right there from the list. But when doing the same with Title, it does not show the magnifying glass so they cannot pick the title. It does allow them to type in it so it's not grayed out.   They can edit this field with the magnifying glass if they open the form though, so they do have permission. My guess is because Title is a custom table, I'm missing some setting to allow this but I can't figure out what that is. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Please check in your list control for roles which are allowed for filter edit

In List Control , if filter edit roles contains admin, that is the reason it is not showing search icon.Please provide required roles to fix issue for fitler edit

Hi Sachin,

There are no roles in filter edit. And I probably should have made it more clear that I also do not get the magnifying glass on that field even though I am a full admin. It just leads me to believe there is something I need to set on the table that field references since the other reference fields work and they are pointed to out of the box tables. But I just can't seem to find it.

Well, I figured it out. When I put the 'Title' column in the list, I pointed it back to the Title table and that field is a text field. Now, I just added the Title field from the table I am actually working on and I get the magnifying glass in that column since that is a reference. Thanks for your help though!
