As of now iam getting both the Display name of an asset and the serial number but i want only the serial number to be searched and selected.

You would have to go to the aml_hardware table and open a record. Then right click on serial number and choose configure dictionary. Then go to dictionary override tab and click new and check override display value. Note this will not just change it for the catalog item but will change it for all references to the aml_hardware table in the entire system.

Example screenshot below as we did this in release management to display the short description for instead of the number.

I want it for a catalog item alone, not for overall.

You can't with a reference field. It's the entire system no nothing. You can try what @Viraj Hudlikar  said and use a lookup select box.

Hello @Negha1 

If you want the variable to display the serial number, try a Lookup Select Box type variable.  A reference variable will allow search on other fields but display the Name field or whatever the display column for that table is in your environment.
