Hi

1. Go to system properties and check if glide.ui.ref_ac = true

2. In your variable attribute try adding : ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter

3. Check if read access ACL is enabled for your custom table

4. Open u_product and check if the index is set to true

 

Try putting some test records like Test1, Test2, Test3,.. and then in the field type Test and check

 

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar , Just checked I saw for some values it is matching and it is showing the matching value but for some values it is  not working.

Okay.Your config is fine but the issue is with the search then

Try adding these in your value attributes

 

ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter
ref_ac_columns=u_product
ref_ac_columns_search=true

 

Also when you're searching put * (containts) and search if the issue persists

I see for some choices it is populating matching words but for some it is not populating, please see the screenshot.ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter,ref_ac_columns=u_product,ref_ac_columns_search=true Screenshot 2026-04-15 104044.pngScreenshot 2026-04-15 103949.png

I am not able to see your screenshot idk why.. 

Go to dictionary - u_product field and set index=true
