[sri vijaya]

Hi

I have a requirement to highlight a field in list column to any color when that filed is in list in hr agent workspace,so i have created highlighted value in workspace experience

its working fine when we have kept it in any  place (example second column,last column)

But when we are placing the field in first column before number field , the field is not highlighting as shown in screenshots

Please help me to resolve the issue

Hi @sri vijaya 

There's nothing you can do about this.
The first column in the list will always be just a hyperlink to the record.

Hi @Peter Bodelier 

can you please elaborate on this issue for my understanding?

Like it will be not be possible to highlight the value in first place?

Hi @sri vijaya,

Apologies, forgetting the word 'first' didn't make my answer very clear. 🙂

Indeed, it's not possible for the first column.

Hi @sri vijaya 

The main reason why you are not able to highlight fields in the first column of  the list view in HR workspace is because this is a reference field. 

"You cannot highlight the following field types:

• Reference
• URL
• Document IDs"
