Reference field shows number instead of User Name

[Steve2000]

Hello,

as you can see the "Requestor" und "Representative" is wrong displayed.

Both of them are mapped to the field and the reference "User [sys_user]" 

I created a custom table, what did I do wrong here?

Both of those fields don't look like reference fields, they look like string fields. If you're mapping a reference value to a string field, the value will be the sys_id of the user. You either need to change those fields to be references themselves, or you need to use the display value when setting those fields.

Thanks, it was so simple 😄
