Hi. 

Sorry to update an ancient thred, but I'm having a weird issue with list view. Sys id appear in the reference field when I'm ordering by the reference field.

Ex.: I've created a field that references Budget Period. When I'm inputing everything is ok:

As soon as I order by the reference field the sys_id's appear:

Can't find any justification for this behaviour. Do you found any solution for these situation?

The budget Periods is a OOTB with a reference field to the Fiscal Period. Both use the name as display field.

Initially I though it was only for the end-users but now it occurs also with admin.

Thank you for your analysis.

Best Regards,

Luis Franco

You can also personalize that list to make it hold whatever fields you want.   Just right-click on the header bar and choose Personalize > List Layout like other places int he system.

I just had this issue and found that I needed to go to the table definition and update the List class definition under table descendants. This worked for me.

Hope it helps.
