Hi,

Just use the documentation to show Reference records as a drop-down.

Thanks,

Hi,

First and foremost question -> Is this required? Is this a valid business requirement?

Will this be good for users?

What happens if there are lakhs of records in that table and those start showing as choices?

Will this be a good UI experience for user if they want to scroll through large list?

Yes Ankur, I agreed with you .

if users in Lakhs, it is very tough job . Finally we suggested to client for reference field only .
