Sys id in List view issue

Hi all,

when I open enhancement table, in the list view I can see the sys id of the product instead of display name. I have attached the screenshot. How do I fix this?

Check whether those products are deleted from the products table. 

Normally reference field displays the display field of the referenced table. If the actual data is deleted then it shows the sys_id.

 

Thank you,

It is an string field. Sorry but when I change it to reference field and give the table name, I can't change. I am getting type change error

@maboopathi 

if it's a string field and storing sysId then

1) that field could be earlier a reference one and later changed to string

OR

2) some script is populating the sysId in that string field

Did you debug?
