Hi Team,

I have created a table "Expenses type" and added the data in it like travel. medical etc..,

Now, i need the data from this table to other field which i am using in other place, i am using in order guide.

I have taken a field and added reference field type to it and linked to above table to fetch the data.

But, i am unable to see the values like travel,medical etc.., but i am seeing their "sys_id" values.

How to resolve this issue?....i need to get the field values not sys_id's.

Hi Venkat,



Check if the tables travel, medical has display value set as Name or some other field. Default for custom tables & some OOB it is sys_id.



All you need is to right click the Name field then mark the display checkbox true.

Reference field will display the field, which has the display value as true.


You've to go to table and check which field display value has true. And then


according to your requirement change the display value.
