I have field catalog form variable, it is a reference field when user type in character it should search any part of the field return the result not just beginning of it

Hi @ChinnaG 

 

  • Navigate to User Administration > User Preferences.
  • Create a new user preference with the name <referenced table>.autocomplete.contains (e.g., incident.autocomplete.contains).
  • Set the value to true.
  • Ensure the "System" checkbox is checked.
  • Log out and back in for the user preference to take effect.

replace incident with your table Name

 

there are other ways too like 

setting the property glide.ui.ref_ac.startswith to false but this takes the effect in across the platform 

and may cause performance issue consider how big your instance is

This is not for table, it is in catalog form variables
