How to show display value of a variable in a database view

Cassandra Cuppl

Good afternoon - I am attempting to create a database view to report on Catalog item variables and struggling in getting the display name of the variable to show instead of the value. 

I have joined the table as seen below and am pulling back the noted fields from the sc_item_option table. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi @Cassandra Cupples ,

If you are saying you want to show variables under RITM in database view columns; then it is not possible since those variables and values are stored in this table Variable Ownership (sc_item_option_mtom).

 

Mark my answer correct & Helpful, if Applicable.

Thanks,

Sandeep

I have already created the database view, similar to those in the links provided, but I am having issues getting the display value of the variable to show versus the value.

I am not sure if there is another join that would possible give me that?
