ls it Possible to change the auto complete and default search filter on a reference fields look up list?

Hi All,

Is it possible to change the default auto complete and search filter on a referenced field look up list?

We have a 'Configuration Item' reference field on our Incident form that references the CMDB.   We have set up reference specification to only reference specific classes; however by default it auto completes on the 'name' field of the CI which we dont use.   We want to be able to search by asset tag instead but I don't seem to be able to find a way to change this behaviour.   Also clicking the magnifying glass to search provides a list of empty names   - it is possible to change the filter each time to find what is required but would be nice if this could be changed by default.

Is it possible?

I've also tried another approach by utilising the name field as a calculated field with the following to create a meaningful name which could be used current.u_asset + " " + current.u_manufacturer + " " + current.model_number + " " + current.u_device_type;   (ie Asset001 HP Elitebook Laptop - perfect for the lookup)

This appeared to work, however I soon noticed this had negative impact as we use the name field for Business Services (really the only thing it is used for) and obviously this calculation affected these names ('Undefined Undefined Undefined Undefined' as none of these fields are present).

Is there any other way i can do something like this?

Thanks

Paul

Perfect, set this on the 'cmdb_ci_hardware' table and Bingo!

Thanks for the help guys!

You gotta set 'Asset Tag' field as display column. But it would apply everywhere the table is referenced.

Got it!   Thanks again Guhan.
