Hi can you help me on this task. The key on the task is to use a table (alm_asset) wherein im going to use the Reference as Type to get the value of building in the alm_asset table. But the needed requirements is dropdown should only show the building names and no duplicate entries in choices.

@RaghavSh I got an update on this. I completely done this using MRVS here is what i did. 
In my MRVS i inserted my Building Location and Asset Serial Number and both of them using Lookup SelecBox. unfortunately when it comes on Variable Set OnSubmit Catalog Client Script im having error on JSON.parse. But on my OnSubmit Catalog Item its currently fine.

Instead of using reference field, use lookup select box.

It should use the table as alm_asset only but in the Label and Value field, choose building. It will show you building.

Also there is a checkbox in lookup select box to show "unique value", check that and you will get only unique building names.

Hi @RaghavSh . i tried changing to select box and it works. but now im search on how can i get the serial number based on my location field. it only show me the name of the device but not the serial number itself. i used the list collector in order to get the serial numbers based on selected location

instead of name it should be serial number displaying

You need to add another lookup select box with serial number as label and value, referring to alm_asset table.

 

In the advanced query of serial number pass:

javascript: 'serial_number='+current.variables.location;  // your location variable name

 

In variable attributes pass:

ref_qual_elememts = location ;  // the variable name you getting location.
