Hi @sunil maddheshi 

 

Just check if you have any Active product starts with/contains Ban.

 

If value is there,

 in your variable attribute , just reorder it 

ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter,ref_ac_columns=u_product,ref_ac_columns_search=true

Hi @Tanushree Maiti , Yes they are active, and i tried with your suggession
ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter,ref_ac_columns=u_product,ref_ac_columns_search=true

I see some of the values are working and some of them are not working.

@sunil maddheshi 

the Text Ban you are typing is part of u_product column?

if yes then it will work

If not then which column contains this, add that column in ref_ac_columns

HI @Ankur Bawiskar Yes This is the custom table where we have all these values and field name is u_product, and dispay is true for this field. And it's not only about text "Ban" when I type any product name it does not match. pleasee see the screesnhots Screenshot 2026-04-15 101901.pngplease see the screenshotsScreenshot 2026-04-15 101054.pngScreenshot 2026-04-15 101037.png
