How to display the "Variable Editor" of a Request Item record in the record form of another table

I created a custom table (without extensions).
I've implemented a field that references the Requested Item table.

I created an input form using a catalog item.
The "Variable Editor" field of the requested item contains information from the input form.

I would like to display the "Variable Editor" field information of the requested item on the custom table.

Even after looking at the form layout, it doesn't seem possible to implement this.
Is there any way?

Hi  @bonsai 

 

To see the Variable Editor on any other form, create your own formatter.

  1. Navigate to System UI > Formatters.
  2. Click Create New.
  3. Provide the values for the formatter.
    • If using Fuji or a later release, add the following information:

      Name: Variable Editor

      Formatter: com_glideapp_questionset_default_question_editor

      Table: Select the table whose form you would like to make the formatter available for

      Type: Formatter

      Active: true

    • If using a pre-Fuji release, use the following settings:

      Name: Variable Editor

      Formatter: com.glideapp.questionset.DefaultQuestionEditor

      Table: Select the table whose form you would like to make the formatter available for

      Type: Component

      Active: true

  4. Click Submit.
  5. Navigate to the form, personalize the form, and check that the Variable Editor appears

Hi,

The VEditor is applicable only for RITMs and catalog tasks. It cannot be used for any other tables.

if you want to bring it to custom table, you can do it using system UI formatter
