Show incident number and short description in reference variable

[jcwarren]

We would like to be able to have an incident number and the short description visible in a reference variable on a service catalog form when a user selects the relevant incident number. We've also been unable to get the short description to show in the drop-down list using variable attributes.

Current variable view after selecting the relevant incident number.

Variable attributes: ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter,ref_ac_columns=number,short_description;ref_ac_order_by=number,ref_ac_columns_search=true

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thank you Soeren. I'd already corrected my typo. The desired result was to concatenate the incident number and short description. We solve the issue with an additional variable and a client script that populates the field.

Thanks again.
