Display Value Dictionary Override

I have a custom table extended from the task table.  I want to change the display value of my custom table to a field other other than number.  That field is a read only string field that I am populating via a business rule.  I went to the dictionary for my custom string field and marked it "true" as the display value.  I then went to the task table and created a dictionary override on the number column to override the display value.  I am still seeing the dang number in fields referencing my custom table (specifically a list collector on a record producer referencing my custom table).  What am I missing?

Hi Sarah,

In your list collector you should be able to select the columns using ref_ac_columns from the variable attributes.

Thank you for your response, Raf.  I tried to add the attribute but it is not displaying correctly.  It is still showing the number only.  Please have a look and tell me what I am doing wrong here, please.
