Show more information on Reference Selection

I am trying to sort out how to show other fields on the drop down of a reference box

 

Here is what I have

find_real_file.png

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

find_real_file.png

 

When I look up this asset (5607) on the ALM table, here is the data we have displayed

find_real_file.png

 

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?

Hi @Brian Sorensen 

Unsure why you're only responding to one person when I said the exact same thing above and provided a link right to the direct documentation to what you asked for (not a listing of all variable attributes -- but precisely to the documentation for your question), which includes numerous examples such as:

find_real_file.png

In any case, if my reply helped guide you Correctly, please mark it as Helpful/Correct.

Thanks and take care! 🙂

This helps, but I am still not getting something.

 

Maybe I am not coding it right?

This is what I want to show

Display Name

Serial

Model

 

So I went to the ALM table, and this is what I believe the variables are

Display Name - display_name

Serial - serial_number

Model - model

So if I enter this into the into the variable attributes, I think it would work

ref_ac_columns=display_name;serial_number;model

 

But, I still don't get the results. I still just get the display name

Is there something I missed?

OK, I got it, I had to add the following

ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter,ref_ac_columns=serial_number;model

 

Now it seems to work

Great!!!!!
