Need to see two columns in reference variable and documented attribute is not working

[Kirsten2]

I have a catalog with a drop down for hardware name and I want the cost to appear next to that. My custom table is the reference table and 'cost' is a field for each record. Name is the main display. 

The attributes I added are: re_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter;ref_ac_columns=u_cost;ref_ac_columns_search=true

When I fill out the catalog item the dropdown still only shows name.

 Any help is appreciated.

Hi @Kirsten2 , 

you have to use comma (,) instead of semicolon(;) in the variable attributes

try putting this in the variable attributes

ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter,ref_ac_columns=u_cost,ref_ac_columns_search=true

Please mark my answer as helpful/correct if it resolves your query.

Thank you. I have been trying commas, semi-colons, changing the order and nothing was working. I also realized I had left off the 'f' in 'ref'.

There is a typo in the variable attributes, it must be 'ref' and comma instead of semicolon

Update the variable, save the record and try again. If it does not work, clear the cache or try from Incognito or InPrivate window of your browser.
