Specify View for a Reference field

David Miller1 · ‎03-09-2023

Hi all, I have an an application in it own scope. On it I have a reference field that links to the sys_user table (or at least something that extends it).

How do I specify that the sys_popup goes to a view i want from that reference field. Is it possible?

Ok, looks like it's more about the view name of the source table. Once I added one, It started going to the relevant view in the target table.

Thanks for replying.

@David Miller1

you cannot have multiple sys_popup views on same table

I can see one application does seem to append sysparm_view=blah

when linking to the users table. Just can't seem to see how it's doing it to replicate with the application I've got.

So there is an Assigned to field which when i press the little i. The sys_popup appears

and I can instantly see the url it will head to has:

Can't see any client scripts that might be appending it on to the url.
There are view rules on both the source and targer table, but from what I can see a view rule seems to change the user to x view as the form loads.
