Reference qualifier to show other field

[servicenow_devo]

Is there any way to show description only in reference catalog variable instead of number. I have a field which references to product table and it shows product number +short description. But we need only short decsription to be displayed.

Hi @servicenow_devo ,

Check for ref_ac_columns attribute in variable attributes on catalog variable remove number from there & check again.

Please check and Mark Helpful and Correct if it really helps you.

@Mayur2109 , there is no number highlighted in attribute and its -

ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter, ref_ac_columns=description

@servicenow_devo Number must be a display field of the table which you are referring to via the catalog reference variable. ref_ac_columns can be used to display additional columns along with the display field of the table referenced in the reference variable. You can either choose to make description a display field on your table or use ref_ac_columns to show both Number and description field on the catalog variable.

@Sandeep Rajput  thanks for the explanation. But my query is when we mark override display for respective field in dictionary level it will impact all other places where the table/field(shows description over number elsewhere it is used) being referenced. So I would like to happen this only in variable section.
