I create a catalog item and in the reference field I want to search for name and code.
so I add Variable attributes ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter,ref_ac_columns=name;code,ref_ac_display_value=name,ref_ac_order_by=name,ref_qual_elements=name,code
But it did not .
when I change the tabel to user tabel the same Variable attributes works so fine.
can anyone help me with that and why that happen?
thank in advance

you don't need ref_qual_elements attribute
so update as this
ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter,ref_ac_columns=name;code,ref_ac_display_value=name,ref_ac_order_by=name

Below should work , just make sure your column names are correct:
ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter,ref_ac_columns=name;code,ref_ac_display_value=name,ref_ac_order_by=name
