Why is the Display value of some fields set to false, but this field is displayed in the table that references him?

Like the display of the context field in the wf_history table

A reference field must have a display value and as the docs indicate if no field is set to display = true, the platform checks for other values.

Reference fields look for the display value in the following order:

  1. A field with display=true in the system dictionary on the lowest sub-table for extended tables.
  2. A field with display=true in the system dictionary on the parent table.
  3. A field named name or u_name.
  4. The Created on field of the referenced record.

Hello @Tony Chatfield1 ,

 

I can't use 'display=true' for other reasons, so I have to figure out a way to use "user_name" instead of "name" as a key reference in the users table.

 

Is there another option to set a reference key fields besides display=true?

 

Thanks. ðŸ˜Š
