Reference Field Displaying Short Description and not Number

Frank · ‎01-26-2018

I created a reference field on the Test Plan table (tm_test_plan) that references the Project table (pm_project) and when I select a project, it's displaying the short description instead of the number. Both tables are inherited from the task table and the task table is the only one with the number field and it has a display value of true, all other fields are false. This seems to be the same behavior for these two tables on an OOB instance, but putting a change request on a problem record displays the change number. Why doesn't it display the number? Why different behaviors?

Thanks,

Frank

Hi Frank,

Is there a dictionary override on short description and number, which is setting it as display value for those two tables?

How do I mark as correct? It's been a while since I posted.

You need to open the thread in a separate tab, instead of opening it in inbox view. And you should see the correct answer button next to the reponses
