Change view for reference lookup list for a specific form only

[Max Nowak]

Hi,

In a custom application, I have a field that references the company table. I want to be able to change the view of the list that pops up when a user performs a lookup (aka, clicks on the magnifying glass icon), but only for this specific form.

I understand that I can right click > configure > configure list layout in the popup if I want to change this, but 1) that view is in global, and I'm working in a scoped app, and 2) as I understand, changing the list layout this way would change it globally, for all fields that reference core_company.

I tried creating a new view (there was a button labeled "Create new view in your custom scope" when I tried to configure the list view), but that didn't seem to do anything - I suspect that I created a new view, but somehow need to tell ServiceNow to use this view instead of the default view.

How can I achieve this? I want the lookup list view to change only if a user clicks the lookup icon on this specific field, not globally.

Thanks in advance,

Max

it's not possible to show different lookup list view on same table if some field refers to that table

It will always be only 1 view which will be shown in entire instance for reference field pointing to that table

Is that not a bit of a solution/workaround for this issue?
