Distinct or unique values on reference field / lookup

[Nik Amy]

Hey all

On a form i have created a reference field which points to a custom table and this table has NO UNIQUE key.

So upon clicking the lookup icon, it should display only unique or distinct values like below it should show only 1200 and 1300.

VenID	Name
1200	ABC
1300	XYZ
1200	JKL

I have made use of reference qualifier and wrote a code like

vendorIdList = arrayUtil.unique(vendorIdList);

This is working, but since the table has some thousands of records, its taking very long time to display the unique values.

Any other method to achieve this quickly.

TIA

Hi Kalai,

Concatenating a reference field to an empty string ('') will automatically cast the value to string.

Thanks,

Yup. I noticed that after responding. Hence I asked for a instance to look into. Tablename could be wrong, field name could be wrong, honestly I don't see any other alternative than to see the code in a instance.
