Hello guy, can anyone help me how can I return the support group value in ' Use reference qualifier ' currently I'm using the Simple option and when I selected it on my created catalog item its returning the Name value which is the ' Service Name RB ' is there anyway the once when I selected on my dropdown it will return the support group value ' Analytics Settings Managers ' .

For that to happen on your "cmdb_ci_service" table you need to mark Support Group as Display=true in dictionary.

But remember for this it would be a instance wide impact so wherever this table will be referred it will start showing Support group name instead of Service Name, which won't be a good UI experience.

Why not use Lookup select box variable referring to "cmdb_ci_service" table and show Support Group as Lookup label field?

you can use a string type variable to auto populate the support group name once Service is selected

Then use this link to know how to auto populate without scripting

Hi Ankur, thanks for your response. I've already implemented it and it's working as expected. However, I have a follow-up question: when I update the field, it still displays the Name value from the cmdb_ci_service table. What I want instead is for it to display the Support Group Name value.
