Hi All,

I have created a reference field on form that is referencing user table. when we click on reference icon, we will get user table. It will show columns like User Id,name,active etc..Now i want to display only User Id column when we click on reference icon..

Thanks in Advance

Hi Nikhil,



The list layout for the reference list is used across all fields that reference that same table (e.g. user.) If you make the list only show one column, it will only show one column for all user table reference fields. That's how the system behaves.

When the list is displayed, use the menu to configure the list layout (may vary slightly from Helsinki image below)

Then select the columns to display (or not) from the list collector (aka Slushbucket)



find_real_file.png



Note that this change impacts all fields that reference the same table.


Is there any other solution for this problem...as i have tried above solution..but this is not what i wanted..i want to restrict the fields for only one particular field..
