Hi, 
have you found a solution for that issue?

Hi @SivasathyaK, 
when the fields were created were they created directly as the "Name-Value Pairs" type or it was different type (e.g. string) and then changed?

Please go to the system dictionary and try to change it from the Name-Value Pairs to Reference, Save it and then change back to the Name-Value Pairs...

Changing it to reference and/or any other type then string (go for email, date, ...) will give you idea if the lookup icon will be displayed after a form refresh, then you will see if it is the issue with only one particular field type or if it is "something bigger".

Let me know how it goes.
