Display option in dictionary

[sandie]

Hi all,

Please help in understand the display option available for any field in a table (in dictionary).

I have gone through the definition from wiki but would be of great help if there is any demo example or exercise which would clear my concept.

Regards,

Could is be due to some scripting ?

I do not know the scripting part though

Hi,

        if there are no display values explicitly set up, ServiceNow searches for default fields to make them as display value fields. These fields are   "name", "u_name", "sys_name", "number", "u_number". The algorithm first searches the whole table hierarchy for a field called name. Then, if not found, it searches for u_name, etc.

For more info see Introduction to Display Values - SnowMirror

Thanks,
