reference filed is showing sysid in popup

[umesh_nagaraja]

Pop up that opens from reference field is listing sys_id's even though the field on the table which is used in reference field has Display set.

Since it's the only column in your list view, it's going to show you the sys_id. Add another column and make it the first column

Hi Umesh,

The Employee Name field has a type of "string". This needs to be set to type:"reference" and the reference:"User (sys_user)" as the reference table (see example below): -

Hope this helps,

Open Pop- up, Click on list header and then Configure-->List Layout

Add your Field name right side then save.
