Reference field display value incorrect, but the arguments in it's correlated pop-up ARE correct

Hello,

I've got a problem where my reference field is not properly displaying search results on the form where it is used.   If I type in a name that i know exists in the table, the field will turn red, indicating that no match has been found.   When I expand the pop-up by clicking on the magnifying glass, the exact search string that showed no matches on the form DOES successfully show the matched records- if one is selected, it then properly fills the field and the subsequent fields on my form:

Beyond that, the search results seem to not be correlated to the value that is entered into the field, either.   Only entries of A, B, C, D, E or F will return any results at all, and often return results that do not include those letters.

This is a basic reference field with only a simple (active = true) reference qual.   I've checked the one client script that populates the two subsequent fields, and it's not related to that, either. Any ideas?

Try using full approval name and then check.


Full approval name doesn't match at all. Neither does a first name match.





Check if there are any ref_ac_display_value attribute set to false by configuring the reference field.



Thanks

There is no ref_ac_display_value attribute set on the reference field. Should I add one, and explicitly make it true?
