Trying to return contains search on list reference field

[jameswhite]

I have a list field on the dmdb_ci record that points to the cmdb_ci_appl table and I am trying to make the default search contains instead of startswith on the application table.  Not sure how to modify to do this.

Thank you.

Found it on the wiki.  Add a system level user preference for the application table to make the default search type contains.
