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
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:

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
