Why is my list collector showing the sysid vs the name

[Cupcake]

I created a table and manually added the values but when I go to show the list collector in the form it is showing the sysid and not the name.

I am familiar with creating tables, i checked the acl and everything looks good.

Can't figure this out !

Hello Karen,

Can you please navigate to the referenced table and then go to dictionary and make sure display value is set to true for atleast one column.

Please check section 3.1 for more info.

Thank you Pradeep,

        That resolved the problem, but I guess my concern is why did it react that way.

I have other tables that I created the same way and none of the displays had to be changed to true and it showed the names just fine and not the sysid's.

Thanks for your assistance.

Excellent. Glad to know that your issue is resolved

Maybe you're referring to child tables. If yes then the display value is inherited from the parent table.
