Reference a table to show name instead of Number?

[brendanwilson84]

Hi Guys, on my form, I am referencing another table (screenshot 1), however, when I select any of them, it will not show the name on the form, only the number (screenshot 2). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Go to the table that holds in information shown in screen shot#1 and change the display = true for the column that holds the name and change display = false for the column that holds the number. Check the below link

Hi Brendan,

If you want the referenced table to show the name instead of the number on all forms where it's reference, you just need to change the display attribute on the dictionary entries for number and name. If this table is extended from task you'll want to do that in a dictionary override rather than changing the dictionary entries themselves.
