I am trying to sort out how to show other fields on the drop down of a reference box
Here is what I have
This is showing just the "Name" of the asset, I was hoping to show other information, like the Model type
Here is the back end of this
Type = Reference
When I look up this asset (5607) on the ALM table, here is the data we have displayed
In the drop down, we want to show the following
Display name | Serial | Model
So this one would be
WCN1C5607 | PC1CF6QG | Lenovo Thinkpad T495
I am assuming I need to modify the Variable Attributes?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi,
You'd want to refer to this documentation for setting that up: https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/rome-platform-administration/page/administer/field-administration...
Essentially, you'd need to add an attribute to that field and you'll get your results 🙂
