Hi Friends,
I have a reference field referring users table. It is populating users name when I select any record in that field. But our requirement is to show userID instead of user name. Please guide how can I set this configuration.
Regards
Evan.

Hello,
You need to go to user table and make 'User ID' field's 'Display' value as true. Generally we don't recommend doing this as this will be applicable everywhere so better to leave that as it is.

Hi Musab
I am aware about this thing but it will have global impact. I just want to show the userID for my custom field UserID(u_user_id). If you have any idea or solution please let me know.
Regards
Evan

Unfortunately there is no alternate solution for this, if you have field referencing to User table it will show User ID only everywhere if you make display value as true for User ID field so leave that as it is.
