You have to do to dictionary and there you need to specify which field should be display = true.
By default it will be the number field on task, and you are v=overriding it for incident in your eg.
From SN Docs
Override display value |
Select the check box to use this field as the display value on the extended table. For example, the Story [ |

Hi,
You've access the dictionary override for the "Location" field on the Incident table. So that is where the display would be set. As the location field.
You'd need to access the field you want to use as the new display field and then select it on it's override section.

Hi Allen,
under override section where it is available to select the field. As in screenshot I shared, there is no place where I can choose the field.

Hi,
since your dictionary override is on incident table and you have clicked Override display value = true
now you need to set some field on incident table with display=true
such as short_description or description make display=true
then test
