reference variable

I have a reference variable 'incident number' which refers to incident table. When we click on the search glass of that reference field it will open the list of the incidents. The requirement is only incident number, assignment group and short description columns must be shown on that list.

 

Can anyone please help me out.

Hi @abhisek  ,

 

Open the reference variable then goto 'Type specifications' section then scrolled down then in 

Variable attributes add these 
 

 

ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter,ref_ac_columns=<field 1>;<field2>,ref_ac_columns_search=true

 

Replace <field 1> with actual field names

 

ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter,ref_ac_columns=number;short_description;assignment_group,ref_ac_columns_search=true

Isn't this code just for type-ahead / auto complete?
If you click the magnifying glass on a reference field you'll still get the default list view I thought.
