Hi All,

            I have used the following filter in variable attributes for custom table field

ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter,ref_ac_columns=u_group_approvers,ref_ac_columns_search=true,ref_ac_display_value=false

My requirement is to display just a single list of group approvers field and I have set "ref_ac_display_value=false"

Stil the display name is visible along with group approvers

please suggest any changes to syntax  to display only one field(group approvers)

Hi Ankur,

I could see a custom field u_name with set display = true

I made the field display = false and updated attributes as ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter,ref_ac_columns=u_group_approvers,ref_ac_columns_search=true

 

Still it displays as 2 columns

 

Can you tru below.

ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter,ref_ac_columns_search=true,ref_ac_columns=u_group_approvers,ref_ac_order_by=name,ref_ac_display_value=false

Hi,

please check below points

Reference fields look for the display value in the following order:

your case falls in 3rd point as there is no field which is display and you have u_name field on your table

  1. A field with display=true in the system dictionary on the lowest sub-table for extended tables.
  2. A field with display=true in the system dictionary on the parent table.
  3. A field named name or u_name.
  4. The Created on field of the referenced record.

Please note you can only set one field can be defined as the display value for a table.

Step 2: Go to dictionary entries, under table give your table name and under type give collection

Step 3: Open it and see what is the value for Reference auto completer columns.. I think there you had provied display name...so remove it..it solves your issue.
