Multi-Column Display in Catalog Dropdown Without Using Reference Field or Table

I am working on a ServiceNow catalog item where I need to display a dropdown field with multi-column values (e.g., Name, Role, Location) 

  • I don't want to use a reference field.
  • I don’t have the values stored in any table, nor do I want to create a new table just for this.
  • The values are static and known ahead of time

A dropdown that shows something like:

John Doe | Developer | Hyderabad
Jane Smith | Analyst | Pune

 

Any suggestions, code snippets, or pointers to existing community posts or documentation would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks in advance!

If you don't want the data to be in a custom table, then I don't know of any way to get a selection to show different columns as you described.

Hi @HarikaG62433194 

You can use the MRVS concept in ServiceNow at the catalog item level. You can also reference user name and location if needed. These are all variables only.

MRVS concept will make the columns values as independent of each other which below to single record 
i want the columns to be part of one record.
MRVS concept will result selecting value 1 from column A and value 2 from column B 
I need only to map the Value 1 from column A to Value 2 from column B it should be as single row values

It wouldn't be columns, but you could use a regular Select Box and make the display values and internal values like this: 

 

Display Value: John Doe | Developer | Hyderabad

Internal Value: Jon Doe


Display Value: Jane Smith | Analyst | Pune

Internal Value: Jane Smith

I don't want it to display as single text it should be display as different columns
any alternative approach please suggest
