How to change the display value of a extended table?

[Rachit Gupta2]

Hello Experts,

I have a requirement where I need to change the display value of pm_program table to my custom field.

Currently, when I am creating a reference field of the pm_program table then it is displaying the number but my requirement is to change that display value with my some custom field.

Please suggest how can I proceed with it.

I have checked the dictionary override but it is not available for the custom field.

You can use a dictionary override of Override reference qualifier.

Dictionary override will be only appear if a field is from parent table.

create your custom field in planned_task table then you will be able to use dictionary override here.

Hi Harsh,

Thank you for your suggestion, but I have dropped this plan as my custom field on the pm_program table which consists of a combination of WBS and Program name. So I can't move that field to the planned task. 

Please let me know if there is any other option.

there is no other option available , if you will not use dictionary override here and you mark the display true for that field from the pm_program table then the changes will impact globally. 

if you don't want to move the custom field to parent table then you can show that column as search option in the reference field. not sure if this will help you or not but have a look in below doc.
