How to disable the suggested results at a Reference Variable?

[pablopaciullo]

Hello guys,

I have added a reference variable in a Catalog Item. This variable is intended to search a value from a table and put it into the field. But I need to hide the search results (not to show possible ones) so the user must enter a valid one without having the choice to select anyone.

Is there any way so the user must enter the value and if it is valid it only gets the match?

Cheers!

Pablo

Hello,

Where you able to resolve this? I'm trying to achieve the same requirement.

Hi,

You could perhaps try setting a non-valid value to the attribute: ref_auto_completer. Valid values are: AJAXReferenceCompleter, AJAXTableCompleter and AJAXReferenceChoice. Perhaps try doing something like: ref_auto_completer=DoNotDisplay

From documentation : 

Attribute

Description

ref_auto_completer

Specifies the name of the client-side JavaScript class that creates the drop-down auto completion choices. Valid class values include: AJAXReferenceCompleter: Displays matching auto-complete choices as a drop-down choice list. The list only displays the reference table's display value column. Reference fields automatically use this class if there is no other auto-completion class specified. AJAXTableCompleter: Displays matching auto-complete choices as rows in a table. The table displays the reference table's display value column and any columns listed in the ref_ac_columns attribute. AJAXReferenceChoice: Displays matching auto-complete choices as a drop-down choice-list. The list only displays the reference table's display value column. Furthermore, the list only displays up to 25 matching choices. If there are more than 25 auto-complete choices, the reference field instead displays the choices with the AJAXTableCompleter class.

I hope this helps!
